Things are moving within the AC Milan attack. It’s not official yet, but the Rossoneri have completed the free loan of West Ham’s German striker Niclas Füllkrug. The latter was hired as a replacement for Santiago Giménez, currently injured in the knee. Füllkrug might not be the only goalscorer to arrive in Lombardy this winter.
There Gazzetta dello Sport assures that the case of Christopher Nkunku is still debated. The Frenchman would have touches in Türkiye, notably with Fenerbahçe, and the Rossonera management would be ready to listen to offers. However, we recently revealed to you that the Nkunku clan had no intention of leaving San Siro. The former Parisian is gradually making his place and intends to confirm that he can be Milan’s number 1 striker.
Mateta not indifferent to Serie A
However, the pink paper newspaper insists and assures that the Lombards have several avenues in the event of the departure of the former Chelsea resident. The name of Vasco da Gama’s Brazilian nugget, Rayan, is mentioned. Except that the player has a release clause of €80 million. Enough to allow the Carioca team to sleep soundly in the face of Milan unable to pay such a sum. However, there is another option.
The Italian daily claims that Frenchman Jean-Philippe Mateta (28 years old) is also being tracked. Under contract with Crystal Palace until 2027, the native of Sevran has still not extended. A French international (3 caps, 2 goals), Mateta is one of the pillars of the Eagles (9 goals, 2 assists in 28 matches), but he would not be insensitive to the sirens of a Serie A monster. The former Lyonnais would enjoy great exposure in a club with more media coverage than Crystal Palace a few months before the 2026 World Cup. The only problem is that Palace is demanding €40 million for its striker. To be continued.
