Matteo Moretto believes that the chances of Divock Origi terminating his AC Milan contract in the coming days are slim.
Over the past few weeks, there has been frequent talk about Milan and Origi being in negotiations over terminating his contract, which is in its final year. It has not been a good spell in the Belgian’s career, given he has spent most of it banished.

The problem for Milan is that they have an ‘unusable’ asset (in the sense that Origi will not play for the club again) that they are paying €4m net per year to. Even with the Growth Decree tax scheme, that means over €5.2m gross.
Origi issue delayed again
Matteo Moretto spoke in a video published on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel and he gave an update on the future of Origi, whose deal expires next June. His comments were relayed by MilanNews.
“There has been a lot of talk about the possible termination of Divock Origi. I told you a few weeks ago that I wasn’t aware of the Belgian being in advanced negotiations with Milan to terminate his contract and I can confirm this now,” he said.
“It’s highly unlikely that Origi will terminate his contract in the coming weeks, while it’s almost certain that the parties will part ways during the month of January. Origi’s adventure at Milan should therefore end in a few months; it won’t be immediate, but I expect it to all be concluded in January.”
In before all the classic Origi bashing to say whether he goes this month, January or next summer, he’s been a pro throughout and never publicly said a bad word against anyone. We should have paid him up long ago.
A pro throughout??? He’s a parasite! He even disappeared from the city of Milano for months and refused to play for Futuro; despite being comfortably doing nothing and not working, he is keen on making his very high salary paid by Milan while providing no services whatsoever. What kind of pro focuses on NOT working but still getting paid??? What a joke, your opinion! It’s cool to be a young millionaire in one of the best cities in Europe, while not even showing up at the supposed workplace. Just not saying anything negative about AC Milan does not excuse his completely unprofessional stance of getting paid while not working! Jesus!
I think that’s actually Origi in disguise. What a piece of sh*t.
Can I have your sources please?
Milan didn’t want him to be in the first team squad after his first season with the club. A first season where he didn’t get a pre-season due to injury.
Many pro contracts will say they can’t be forced to train with youth teams, so Milan have chosen to pay him not play him. Pushed him out of the team expecting him to move on but refusing to pay him up when he refused to settle for less. If Milan had reasonable grounds to rescind his deal they would have done.
Also, using dehumanising language isn’t on, should be banned on here IMO. Regardless of your opinion of him, he’s a person with a family.
Sorry he’s being paid 5 M and won’t do what he’s asked don’t understand why he’s not obligated to play for futuro? No mercy for that man.
I’m sorry, what are we asking him to do that he won’t do? Milan asked him not to come to first team training and he didn’t.
