West Ham willing to accept minimal fee for Niclas Füllkrug

West Ham United is reportedly prepared to accept a minimal transfer fee to make Niclas Füllkrug’s loan move to Werder Bremen permanent. The primary obstacle to a deal is the striker's current wage structure, as he is under contract with West Ham until 2028.

While Füllkrug has experienced a resurgence in form at Bremen, including a recent brace against Paderborn, West Ham's priority is to remove his high wages from their books. Reports suggest that internal relationships at West Ham had deteriorated, with some insiders indicating that the player's presence had become disruptive to team spirit.

For a permanent transfer to proceed, a compromise regarding Füllkrug's salary will likely be required from the player's side. West Ham appears focused on clearing financial space to rebuild their squad rather than capitalizing on the player's recent goal-scoring success.
