The 32-year-old will join the Rossoneri on loan with an option to buy.

According to multiple sources, including DAZN and Sky Sport Italia, Fullkrug will wear the No.9 at Milan in the second part of the season.

It’s expected to be a free loan deal with an option to buy between €11m and €13m.

Regardless of Fullkrug’s signature, the Rossoneri are already looking for a new striker for next season.

Football Italia understands that Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic remains a top target at San Siro, especially because the Serbian star is not expected to extend his expiring contract in Turin, becoming available for a free transfer at the end of the season.
