Venezia transfer move falls through for West Ham flop Niclas Fullkrug

West Ham United wants to sell striker Niclas Füllkrug this summer after a difficult spell in East London. Sport Bild reports that his proposed transfer to Venezia has collapsed because West Ham are asking for too much money. The German international joined the Hammers in 2024, but injuries limited his impact; last season he was loaned to Italy and struggled there as well. Returning to England this summer, he has been looking for an exit, but West Ham’s valuation appears to have cooled talks. It’s unclear whether Venezia will re-engage or if other clubs—particularly in Germany—will enter late in the window. West Ham also face pressure to move him off the wage bill.
