Team Talk reports on Real Madrid's interest in signing Niclas Fullkrug from West Ham United. Real Madrid, under the new management of Xabi Alonso, are interested in signing Niclas Fullkrug from West Ham United. Fullkrug joined West Ham from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2024 for £25 million. Despite a difficult season at West Ham due to injuries, Alonso sees Fullkrug as a perfect fit for his demands for a 'classic No. 9'. Fullkrug is relaxed about his future but might find it hard to turn down Real Madrid if they pursue their interest.

Fullkrug is attracting interest from Real Madrid, whose manager Xabi Alonso wants to sign a traditional number nine as a different option to current striker Kylian Mbappe. Real Madrid appreciate Fullkrug’s European calibre, given his effective contributions for Borussia Dortmund and Germany in recent years. However, West Ham might resist the transfer as he will be their only senior striker come the start of July, with other strikers Michail Antonio and Danny Ings out of contract next week. There is no imminent deal yet.
