Niklas Füllkrug wants AC Milan move ahead of any proposal from Bundesliga. Negotiations well underway with West Ham, as revealed in the recent days.
The striker joined West Ham with high expectations but has endured an inconsistent spell in England, partly due to injuries and tactical adjustments. A move away is now being considered by all parties as a solution that benefits both the player and the club. Mixed emotions have arisen among Liverpool supporters, as West Ham’s recent victory has sparked debate and discussion about the striker’s form and potential future.

Talks are expected to continue in the coming days as Milan push to finalize the deal ahead of competing interest, with West Ham open to negotiations under the right conditions.
