Niclas Fullkrug is now officially an AC Milan player, as confirmed not by the club themselves but by Lega Serie A.
As widely expected for days, Milan used the morning of the first day of the winter transfer window – January 2, 2026 – to register the contract of Füllkrug. This is confirmed by the Serie A website, which has a page listing all the operations that have been officially completed.
Fullkrug arrives from West Ham United, where he spent a year and a half without finding the success he was seeking after a better spell in Germany with Borussia Dortmund. The player joins Milan on loan with an option to buy, as widely reported in recent days.
Fullkrug has been training at Milanello with his new teammates since Boxing Day, thanks to the clearance granted by the London club. This evening, the former Werder Bremen man will be available to Massimiliano Allegri for the match against Cagliari.
The German has also apparently decided to take the No.9 shirt, which has been left vacant since Luka Jovic’s departure in the summer. While waiting for the club to confirm everything with their own press release, the registration has at least got over the line in time for tonight.
