GdS: Milan hoping to conclude signing of Liverpool striker in the next week

AC Milan are looking for pieces to strengthen their attack ahead of next season and are still expected to close the signing of Divock Origi, a report claims.

The Rossoneri management know it is a necessity to bolster the attacking options and specifically the centre-forward department where there is currently only Olivier Giroud (35) and Zlatan Ibrahimovic (40) who are able to play the role, plus the inexperienced 18-year-old Marko Lazetic.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews), it has been clear for some time that Origi is very close to joining Milan on a free transfer ahead of next season as he will leave Liverpool when his deal expires.

An agreement over terms was found some time ago and all that remains is for a few details to be resolved, so a meeting could be set as early as next week to successfully conclude the negotiation.
