Niclas Füllkrug and West Ham United – so far, this is hardly a love story for the ages. Instead, there are rumors that Füllkrug – much like his national teammate ter Stegen – might take the last chance of a winter transfer in order to secure a spot in the German national team squad ahead of the World Cup this summer.
As always, when a former fan favorite is searching for a new club, many Werder fans dream of their promotion hero returning. However, there is currently no real reason for these dreams.

Transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio has now commented on the situation and suspects that the former Bundesliga striker is being drawn elsewhere – namely, to Italy.

“That was one of his preferred destinations for two or three years. Juventus wanted him in the past. I believe that this time he could really come to Serie A,” he told the portal ‘weltfreunde-net’. According to him, Milan and Juve had considered Füllkrug, but ultimately decided otherwise. Currently, Di Marzio does not know whether Milan wants another striker in January – although they certainly need one. The same applies to AS Roma.

Recently, there have been increasing transfer rumors about Füllkrug anyway: according to ‘Sky’, the striker is also highly regarded at VfL Wolfsburg.
