With the 2026 World Cup right around the corner, German national team candidates are seeking to position themselves to make the squad.<\/p>\n
For West Ham striker Niclas F\u00fcllkrug that means a move to AC Milan is likely to happen. Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg<\/a> referred to the rumors of a move to Italy as a \u201cdone deal\u201d with the German heading to Serie A for a six-month loan where Milan will not pay a fee, just the striker\u2019s salary:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udca5 BREAKING | Niclas F\u00fcllkrug to AC Milan \u2013 DONE DEAL \u2714\ufe0f<\/p>\n Full agreement between AC Milan and West Ham. Six-month loan deal with an option to buy next summer. #WHUFC<\/p>\n No loan fee. Milan will cover F\u00fcllkrug\u2019s full salary until the end of the season. Medical soon.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Plettenberg\u2019s Sky Germany colleague, Patrick Berger, also posted similar information as well:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8\u26ab\ufe0f\ud83d\udd34 BREAKING: Total agreement has now been reached between AC Milan and West Ham United on a loan deal for Niclas F\u00fcllkrug (32\/\ud83c\udde9\ud83c\uddea). Green light from #WHUFC, proposal accepted.<\/p>\n No loan fee. Milan to cover the full salary until June 30. Purchase option in summer. Final details to be clarified. F\u00fcllkrug was in desperate need of a change considering that he has only played 413 minutes (no goals or assists) for the Hammers this season. Hopefully, this switch will allow him to best position himself for a call to the German national team.<\/p>\n If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast<\/a>, Spotify<\/a>, Apple<\/a>, or any leading podcast distributor\u2026 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the 2026 World Cup right around the corner, German national team candidates are seeking to position themselves…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":648602,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5310],"tags":[884,2000,299,120029,45113,1824,2199,20144,198748,1927],"class_list":{"0":"post-648601","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-germany","8":"tag-ac-milan","9":"tag-eu","10":"tag-europe","11":"tag-fullkrug","12":"tag-german-national-team","13":"tag-germany","14":"tag-italy","15":"tag-niclas-fullkrug","16":"tag-patrick-berger","17":"tag-west-ham"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115764170811533082","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=648601"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648601\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/648602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=648601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=648601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=648601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
