After his important joker goal against Spain, Niclas Füllkrug is on everyone’s lips. The late-call striker of the German national team is said to have even caught the eye of FC Bayern.
A lot has been said and written about Niclas Füllkrug from Bundesliga promoted Werder Bremen in the past few days. About the fact that about a year ago he was almost kicked out of the then second division team of the Hanseatic League and is now becoming the German hope for the World Cup.
Although the promised attacker himself takes the hype about his person calmly, the 29-year-old seems to have recommended himself for higher tasks with his self-confident ideas in the DFB-Elf.
So reports the “sports buzzer“With reference to their own information that FC Bayern should have asked about the filling pitcher. Munich internationals were asked by club officials how the massive nine was like a guy.
Since Thomas Müller in particular, but also Manuel Neuer, had publicly raved about the filling jug in the past few days, it can be assumed that their feedback to the FCB managers was also positive.
Filling jug as a Choupo-Moting replacement for FC Bayern?
It is currently unclear for which role the Füllkrug would be intended in Munich. The offensive man will be 30 in February and he has never played internationally at club level.
The goalgetter on Säbener Straße could most likely slip into the role of the recently extremely strong Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, whose working paper expires after the season. However, both sides are said to be interested in an extension.
Meanwhile, the late starter should not be seen as an equivalent alternative to the rumored dream player Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur).
Füllkrug’s contract on the Weser was allegedly extended to 2025 in the summer, so a transfer would certainly be due. In the first 14 Bundesliga matches after promotion, he has already scored ten times for the Green-Whites.
