GdS: Liverpool forward ticks the boxes for Milan as first contacts take place

AC Milan have an eye on who could come in and be their striker for the foreseeable future, and they have cast their sights on Divock Origi of Liverpool.

La Gazzetta dello Sport writes how Origi is not the only name and the list of targets is quite substantial, but the Liverpool forward has great technical qualities and would be available on a free transfer at the end of the season given he is on an expiring contract.

Elliott Management and the Milan leaders always look at price-value ratio when examining potential signings and having an international-level striker potentially available without a transfer fee involved has resulted in the first exploratory talks between the parties.

In the meantime the Belgian forward has been made aware of the potential Rossoneri interest and may express a preference towards an experience in Italy over joining a different Premier League side.

Origi has worked under the intense pressing system of Jurgen Klopp and has just over 500 minutes this season in playing time which pushes him towards somewhere he feels more important. Given he is 26 and is therefore substantially younger than Ibrahimovic and Giroud, he seems to tick the boxes.
