Divock Origi remaining at AC Milan this summer would mean that Lorenzo Colombo will have to leave the club on loan, a report claims.
As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, there is no room for the two forwards in the Milan squad for the coming season but it is looking harder and harder to shift Origi.
Colombo’s future has been uncertain all summer and it is looking more and more likely that he will be loaned to either Genoa or Cagliari this summer.
Milan would like to sign another striker to provide competition for Olivier Giroud and the plan was that Colombo would then be loaned and Origi will have already been sold.
Origi wants to stay and show that last season was not his best, and he has said no to multiple offers over the summer. With the Belgian seemingly staying, Milan must remove Colombo from the wage bill as best they can as he will get minimal game time.
Maldini’s Heir is very happy his two heroes, Krunic and Origi are staying.
Where’s Mirjalmao?
What about you? I kept telling you he will stay and you kept being delusional and writing your standard nonsense…
Oh hey it’s Maldini’s Heir with his second name. Imagine being as stupid as this.
If they stay you better support them…
No I won’t. I don’t support people who are sabotaging Milan.
@giancarloser, your life is too miserable lol
Krunic is in bed with ur wi f e
I would have an infinite pleasure in simply terminate unilaterally the contract of this guy, even with this generating finantial loss to the club…
Why? Because he has a contract and wants to play for the club? What exactly has he done that is worthy of fans hating him?
He was injured alot. Another player we pushed out without a proper chance to prove his worth. They could have easily brought him abroad in case no one had a offer for him.
We put ourselves in a wordt situation by leaving him home. Free Agents or other players will know they will be treated like duds if they get hurt one season.
Because he sucks infinitely?
If you terminate the contract, you’d have to pay all his remaining salary. At that point he can go and play for another club or take a vacation and go golfing or something.
I think it’s better for us to get him to just come and train every day and then go and sit in the stands and watch the rest of the players play, it would be a good reminder to the rest of the players what happens if you slack.
On a separate note, I don’t think that he’s worse than Colombo or that people would be as unhappy if he was hired as a backup striker with a 1mill per year salary.
Personally I keep some hope that he will play better. That he wants to change clubs but that he’s not willing to sign another contract after the last lousy year (what will the other teams offer to him now… 1mill per year… at most?). Kinda of like Umtiti last year when he joined Lecce. At this phase, I might have taken a one year loan swap with Monza for Petagna, at least Petagna’s a home-grown player that doesn’t impact the lists, and Origi might find more space with Palladino.
It’s not proper way to treat human. He always show dedication for the club and never give up. He just wanted to have more playing time to pay back. It’s not his fault if his wage was considered to high for player who didn’t play
He’s garbage and can’t stay fit. He’s not doing his job. When you don’t do your job, you get fired.
@When you fire an employee, you pay him his entitlements
They haven’t fired him, they want him to leave.
I hope we prepared for this eventuality.
No preseason preparation with the squad is not ideal though.
Well – he can’t do any worse than last year.
Giancarlo i told you ferner won’t spend 10m + on krunic, but you where delusional now you are going to jerk to krunic for the rest of the season
Lmao you aren’t some expert in anything. Krunic is going to cause to lose games. Just watch.
I know he is going to make us lose, that why i said you going to jerk to him after every game
You’re deluded. I said we will probably do well overall, but he’s going to be actively working against the team. I wanted him to leave you clown. But hey your hero Maldini signed him.
I have stated this before.
Almighty Real Madrid couldn’t get rid of Gareth Bale until he ran his contract out. Milan is disrespecting Divock Origi with this strong arm tactics. I don’t know if it’s management outright or Pioli, but it’s not a wise move.
Origi has never shown signs of being a trouble-maker, but now he is being pushed to the wall. He has a contract. This guy was among the first to arrive for preseason only to be axed for no reason. Yet, CdK and Messias who were not in Pioli’s plans and have been shipped out were taken on the US tour.
So what exactly was Origi’s sin for the disrespect? Was he worse than CdK last season?
Treating Origi right may have gotten him to take a pay cut – even if it is minimal. But management was trying to use strong arm tactics.
Now, look at the situation on ground. You refused to let him take part in preseason for no just cause. You made the guy feel like a complete outcast and you are now in a situation where you realise you may need him.
There is no player bigger than any club. Club is whole organisation that handle everything to give any of players chance to even can be able to play football.
Apart from that many players with Milan made all kinds of agreements to leave the club even on free transfer, and that’s how they show respect to the club.
Same thing is with Origi. If club organisation left him away from preseason matches, that is strong message for him to leave the club.
First offer that arrived for him should accepted.
Remember Zaniolo case from Roma?
Bale decided to keep the money. Origi can do the same.
But than that’s not someone who can be called football player.
@Milanelo,
It doesn’t work that way. There’s what you call respect. There’s a contract between player and club. If the club does not want player any more, while there is still a long term contract; then the club should pay up the worth of the contract and send him out.
Strong arm tactics doesn’t always work and it is wrong. You expect the player to do you a favour while you are disrespecting him?
Oh, whether you like it not, Bale was a good footballer, multiple times champions with Madrid. Origo too won UCL with Liverpool. So, what you mean by “that’s not someone who can be called football player” is meaningless.
Has he been registered for the season?
Either way it sounds like he won’t be a part of the team. If he isn’t in the clubs plans, then they have every incentive to help him move to a place he can continue his career. Its a negotiation. There is not a difference to the club to pay him 4M a year for the next 3 years not to play or buy him out now. Assuming he wants to continue his career, I doubt they would do anything to stop him. Teams will hope he gets bought out so they can sign him for no transfer and a smaller salary. Hopefully they can come to an agreement that both are happy with.
LOL. Why should Origi leave if he didn’t like the offer exactly? Why because you don’t like him as a player and he had a bad year?
Unfortunately he has a contract and he is honoring that. He doesn’t cause problems and by all accounts works hard. It’s his right to want to stay and try and turn it around and it’s the clubs right to ban him to the stands and not give him the opportunity. IF he’s fine sitting the bench and collecting his $$ then that’s his prerogative. Just like Bakayoko. Personally I think he should be re-integrated back into the team because as it stands now we could def use him especially when we have a 37 yr old as our starting striker and his back up is an unproven, below average player in Columbo. So if we are not buying a new striker (which is a huge mistake) then we should bring Origi back. We are paying him anyways and he always has been a professional.
Let me ask this: If he scored 30 goals last season and received an offer from another club with a huge salary tripling his wages and we refused to sell and he refused to play in protest – what would you say then? Let me guess – you would say Origi needs to get back on the field and play and respect his contract lol. But because it’s the opposite you say his contact should not be respected and he should get lost?? Can’t have it both ways or your just a hypocrite gents.
To continue his career. If he is not part of the plans than he is likely free to go anywhere he would like probably for a free transfer. The contract will be honored, it would be illegal not to…i doubt the contract requires he gets a certain amount of playing time. It just requires them to pay him. They have to honor that.
This is not slavery that u can send a player to turkey or Saudi Arabia if he doesnt want to go there. He has said that he is willing to go to premier league but that offer hasnt arrived
His sin is he’s not good enough and injury prone. He’s a parasite. He had offers and turned them down. Now he can stay in the stands and waste another year of his garbage career.
Was he worse than CdK last season?
I’m not even saying he’s a good player or anything. The issue here is D.I.S.R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
Why take CdK, Messias, etc. that are not part of the plan, who have been sold now, on the US tour and leave him out? What is the justification for that?
Did it occur to whoever made that arrangement that, it is better to part amicably than with bitterness?
Think of it: the guys goes to the US, scores a couple of goals or just plays well and suitors come and it’s easier to sell.
Apparently, the offers coming are not good enough for him, basically because they haven’t seen him play.
If he had gone to the US and played terribly, then he himself knows and the club can approach him to take a pay cut. There is no guarantee that he would agree, but the chances are he would make that sacrifice or at least take an offer from Asia.
“Give him a chance” “they’re being mean to him” Are some people serious?? Every time he came on to the pitch last year he was horrible. If he’s actually turning down offers knowing he’s not going to play, he’s a bum collecting a check.
With a player of his calibre everybody expects him to shine at his very first touch on the ball. He is no youngster and he DOES NOT deserve patience. Pioli has crosses out his name in the plan so go ahead a stay until the contract runs out. We are professionals and we are cool with that. He might think he has the upper hand here but trust me no player is bigger than a club. Stay and enjoy the extended vacation. His high level professional career is over.
You’re spot on, Moshi.
Bakoyoko 2.0. Just another leach
Player with no ambition
So if origi stays. Will he be in the part of pioli’s plan? If so, then pioli can eat his own words about origi as ST in the team. Origi’s long shoot was quite good last season. They should place him a bit deeper on the field.
Even if Pioli used him, thats mean he is by forced to do that since he cant sign another ST because this bum wont leave
Considering there were offers from the Saudis for him, it could be argued if he’s staying with us for the reason of money alone. I suspect he could’ve earn much more there, with relatively easier workrate.
I personally feel that he knew that he could’ve done better than last season, but he arrived injured and out of sorts. That was supposedly the year he’s FINALLY getting into starting eleven in a respectable club.
I personally think that he still has the hunger to succeed and making his name in Europe at least, and doing it with a big club. He’s already in one. Despite the treatment that he’s gotten, and if Milan relented and decided to use him for another year, I hope he could repay the that and silence the naysayers, who seemed to be writing everyone off after just a single season.
Everything must be an instant success nowadays. Perform now or pack your bags. No more respects given towards players who clearly were struggling, but still wanted to stay, prove their worth and fight on. These traits used to be celebrated, not insulted.
Super expert commentator here thinking easy terminated contract or if you dont perform well just go out / terminated your contract. The best you can do just loan him like you did to CDK . Using iron hand tactic not effective because contract more powerful than your strong arm . You can comment all you want even until your finger broken say : terminated his contract but it wont happen
I mean he can’t do any worse than last season right…?
We still have no clue bout that. Let’s just sit and see his scoring ability. Stats will show us bout him.
The bigger question is that Milan and Pioli:
– had a success rate of 1/6 new signings last summer;
– introduced zero youth players; and
– previously performing players stopped performing including Tomori, Florenzi,l and Rebic.
If Origi was the only player, or part of a minority of players, who struggled, then you could blame the player(s) but surely questions need to be asked when that number of players struggle?
In the case of Origi, we had a player who had previously scored playing in a better league (the Premier League) and in the Champions League – and what? He forgot?
As did CDK – who had played in the champions league?
What happened to the Italian international Florenzi?
Again the injuries argument doesn’t help because again, when it happen to a number of players, that points to a systematic issue.
Pioli apparently had no use for Adli. Adli was apparently worse than the players at Cremonese (or else he’d have been trusted to play against Cremonese).
What gives?
These are questions who need answering because we’ve just signed 8 new players so what happens if only 1/8 perform?
What happens if other players start dropping in form like Leao?
Now Pioli might ultimately be responsible and, if the team struggles and keeps the form from the second half of last season, he could well be sacked.
But if he is the reason, then what a waste of time, effort and money it was changing the squad around?
Origi often had single digit scoring seasons. You really don’t have any clue what you’re talking about. You’re just posting banter at this period. Why don’t you want more players like Kevin Constant?
And now you’re pissing on new players. You demand I support Origi and Krunic, yet you’ve been on here slamming these new signings non-stop?
Since when do you cease to be a hypocrite?
I posted an argument in another article about why this era isn’t the same as the Fassone/Mirabelli era, and as to why we’re different and qualitatively better. This is regardless of my feelings towards Krunic or Origi. But more specifically regarding my overall feeling of the current state of affairs.
Three problems with making the 2017 Fassone/Mirabelli comparison.
1) The current base was better than the base back then. This is without dispute. The base we had in place are qualitatively better.
2) The signings are qualitatively better than what was signed, including having better stats and better qualities. These were also not panic buys, for example, with someone like Kalinic.
3) No high interest loan. This was funded by the sale of one player.
So these signings are not similar to what was signed in 2017. The situation is also not different. Milan has registered economic progress. The prior base of the team was better. Ergo, comparing this team, the signings or what was done to 2017 is inappropriate and inaccurate.
What you’re saying is correct. But I think the feeling of uneasiness is understandable giving the big number of players signed in a single transfer window and that more than the half of the team (and pretty much the entire midfield) is made of new players.
It remains to be seen if they will suceed or not this season
