Fabrizio Romano has just dropped an important update on Niclas Fullkrug’s future at West Ham and AC Milan.
Fullkrug joined Milan on a short-term loan deal in January after a disappointing 18 months with the Hammers.
The Serie A club have an option to buy the striker in the summer transfer window, but that seems highly unlikely.
Romano has also suggested that Fullkrug will need to find another club this summer rather than return to West Ham.

Niclas Fullkrug ‘expected’ to sever ties with AC Milan and West Ham
AC Milan are reportedly set to turn down their £4.35 million (€5m) option to sign Fullkrug permanently this summer.
The forward has scored just one goal in 16 Serie A appearances for the Rossoneri and does not have a single assist.
“Niclas Fullkrug is expected to leave AC Milan in June, with no plans to activate the €5m buy-option clause,” Romano tweeted.
This decision paves the way for Fullkrug to return to West Ham, where Nuno Espirito Santo could give him another chance.
Last chance saloon?

However, the Hammers hierarchy have already decided to let him go again in the next transfer window.
“Fullkrug would return to West Ham and then leave the club again,” Romano added.
It remains to be seen whether he will leave on another loan or find a permanent club.
Werder Bremen have been linked with re-signing Fullkrug, but his wages are considered too high for the Bundesliga side.
