Niklas Füllkrug's Amazing Rise: From the Second League to "Milan"

The path of Niklas Füllkrug, the German national team and "Milan" club striker, in recent years is considered one of the rarest stories in the football world.

İdman.Biz reports that the striker has made a magnificent turnaround in his career in just a few years.

Füllkrug, who played in the German 2nd Bundesliga until the age of 29, was promoted to the top league with his team at that age and was invited to the German national team by showing himself in his first Bundesliga season. He also scored a goal in the world's biggest tournament by playing in the 2022 World Cup.

The football player, who won the title of top scorer of the Bundesliga at the age of 30, reached the Champions League final as a player of Borussia Dortmund at the age of 31 and was remembered with goals in both the 1/4 final and the semi-final.

Füllkrug, who also played in the European Championship as part of the German national team in the same year, managed to score a goal in that tournament as well.

At the age of 32, after a short stint in English football, he reached another peak in his career by transferring to "Milan", one of the giant clubs of Italy.

Niklas Füllkrug, who played in the second division of German football in 2022, can confidently say today - at the beginning of 2026 - that he has gone down in history as a football player who was the top scorer of the Bundesliga, played in the Champions League final, scored goals in the World and European Championships, and was transferred to a giant club like "Milan".
