Serie A giants Milan are currently unlikely to sign Niclas Fullkrug on a permanent basis from West Ham.
The German joined the Rossoneri on an initial loan deal from the Hammers in January and they have a cheap option to buy. The striker scored a key goal against Lecce some weeks ago but hasn’t started even once in Serie A.
**Daniele Longo** [reports](https://www.calciomercato.com/liste/milan-fullkrug-solo-a-mezzo-servizio-allegri-non-si-fida-completamente-di-lui/blte727ed466a5680ff#cs2f2b4c84bf98d241) that even if Fullkrug offers what Max Allegri demands from his striker, he has failed to establish himself. He also picked up a toe injury that derailed his progress, making sure that it is now unlikely that Milan sign him permanently from West Ham.
It is reported that the 33-year-old is only half fit because of the injury. It was initially expected some weeks ago that he can be out for a prolonged amount of time but it came as a shock to many when he returned in time for the next fixture. It now does look like the problem is hampering Fullkrug’s form.
