Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

N. Füllkrug is a 33-year-old centre-forward at AC Milan, rated 21.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 374th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Füllkrug.

Judged on this season alone, Füllkrug graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 49 of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 20 appearances (0.138 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 46th of 49 of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 33 Füllkrug is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Füllkrug missed 5 games through injury (thigh, calf) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

1 goal in 20 appearances (0.05 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.14 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.9, Füllkrug carries the 46th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 49 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.14 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
