"Niclas Fullkrug is one step away from becoming an AC Milan player in the January mercato. In fact, he could be signed in the next 24 hours. It is clear that Milan need a striker this January, and Fullkrug's name is the most heavily linked at this moment. However, it is probably a case of the finances lining up well, rather than him being the dream target. Of course, the German ticks several boxes, and he would be a more physical option for Massimiliano Allegri. However, that does not mean that all of the Rossoneri's problems would be fixed. It is a short-term bridge, it seems, and nothing more."
"In the next 24 hours, as Calciomercato.com reports, the deal could be done, thanks to the insertion of a clause demanded by West Ham. It means that the Diavolo will have a buy option available to them if they wish to use it. They will pay €1.5 million for the striker - which is his salary - until the end of the year, and then in the summer, if they wish, they can pay a fee of €12-13m to buy the German. Whether it will be considered by the club then is another thing entirely. However, the option will be there if he impresses in the next few months."
AC Milan urgently need a striker in the January window and Niclas Fullkrug is the primary reported target. The move could be completed within 24 hours thanks to a clause demanded by West Ham that grants Milan a summer buy option. Milan would cover €1.5 million for Fullkrug until the end of the year, then hold the option to purchase him for €12–13m in summer. Fullkrug offers a more physical profile for Massimiliano Allegri and meets several tactical requirements, but the signing would likely be a short-term solution rather than a comprehensive fix to the squad's problems.
