"After completing the signing of Niclas Füllkrug, the AC Milan management are carefully planning how the attack of the future might look. As Tuttosport report this morning, Füllkrug has so far made a positive impact. The 32-year-old has adapted well, having made his debut against Cagliari on January 2, and then having performed well off the bench against Genoa (could have won a penalty) and Fiorentina (should have had multiple assists). Most recently, he scored a game-winning header against Lecce less than two minutes after coming on. It's still unclear whether the former West Ham player will get a chance to start in Rome on Sunday evening, but his contribution will be needed nonetheless. Milan are greatly appreciating how the German has embraced this adventure, with his spirit, enthusiasm and dedication. Füllkrug is surprising everyone, and if he keeps going this way then buying him permanently for €5m could be a given, especially with Champions League football."
"Füllkrug has the ideal profile to be the starting No.9's replacement in the future, a player who will arrive from the market and that could be Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian was courted by Allegri all summer, but unlike Rabiot, it wasn't possible to acquire him. However, his contract with Juventus is expiring in a few months, and his departure seems a foregone conclusion. Igli Tare has had several contacts with his agent Darko Ristic in recent weeks, officially regarding the young Montenegrin Andrej Kostic from Partizan Belgrade. It's clear that Vlahovic has also been discussed. The obstacles - as in the summer - remain related to salary demands and commissions (mostly due to him arriving as a free agent), but Milan won't easily give up on Vlahovic, knowing they have a ready-made alternative at home."
AC Milan signed Niclas Füllkrug and are planning the club's attacking future around his role. Füllkrug adapted quickly, debuting on January 2 and producing strong substitute contributions against Genoa and Fiorentina. He scored a late, game-winning header against Lecce shortly after entering the match. Milan value his spirit, enthusiasm and dedication and consider a permanent €5m transfer likely if he maintains form, particularly with Champions League qualification. The club also views Dusan Vlahovic as a potential long-term No.9, but Juventus contract timing, salary demands and agent commissions remain key obstacles to a free-agent move.
