The name Niclas Füllkrug has been known to everyone with an interest in football since Sunday at the latest. The 29-year-old Werder striker not only scored the all-important equalizer against Spain, but also attracted the interest of one or two clubs. Is Bayern even chasing the centre-forward?
A year ago, Niclas Füllkrug was actually largely stuck in insignificance. Although the attacker snapped well for Werder Bremen and helped the club to rise, no one crowed internationally for the Werder player. This is completely different after his ten Bundesliga goals in the first half of the season and his World Cup goal against Spain. Soccer Germany is in mug fever and those responsible for top national and international clubs should also take a closer look at the beefy attacker.
According to information from Sportbuzzer, even those responsible for Bayern have already asked about the filling jug. However, this is not the case with Werder Bremen, but with the World Cup drivers who have gotten to know the goalscorer a little better in recent weeks. It can be assumed that some positive things were learned about the player in Munich. After all, Füllkrug left a good impression as a player and as a guy, if you listen to the statements made by the DFB kickers. Thomas Müller described the newcomer to the national team as a “great guy”. FC Bayern should also be enthusiastic about what Füllkrug is able to do on the pitch. After all, the Werderer not only scores a lot of goals, but also helps with his physical presence and can also present for his team-mates.
The player would certainly be affordable for the Munich team, since Werder Bremen is of course not exactly on a bed of roses financially. Although Füllkrug has extended until 2025, the Bremen team will have to achieve a transfer surplus next summer. No player would bring in as much as Niclas Füllkrug. It is quite foreseeable that Füllkrug will make the leap to a bigger club in the summer, which will pay him significantly more than Werder can offer. It is not yet clear whether FC Bayern will intervene in poker. Much depends on how personalities like Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Harry Kane continue. In principle, it cannot be assumed that the Munich-based Füllkrug would like to commit as the number one striker. However, a transfer would be quite conceivable as a backup. The example of Choupo-Moting shows best that a replacement role can ultimately become more.
