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.
Barcelona are interested in signing Nathan Ake from Manchester City in the January transfer window, according to CaughtOffSide . The report has claimed that last season's La Liga winners are considering a loan bid for Ake following Andreas Christensen's injury. Man City, too, are willing to offload Ake midway through the 2025-26 campaign, but the Premier League club want a permanent sale. The Cityzens are looking for around €30-35 million, but for Barcelona, a loan deal with the option to make it permanent next summer is more realistic.
Talks had centred in recent days on Leverkusen insisting on either Hincapie's €60 million ($70m) release clause being paid in full or an agreement including an obligation to make an initial loan deal permanent. But ESPN sources have said Arsenal are close to securing a loan with an option which would make Hincapie's their eighth summer signing after committing more than €300 million on new players.
