AC Milan have officially announced the signing of Divock Origi, formerly of Liverpool, on a free transfer. The forward underwent his medical and signed the contract with the club last week, but now it’s official.
The Belgian’s contract with Liverpool expired at the end of June and the move to Milan has been done for quite some time. A slight injury delayed the medical and the Rossoneri also decided to wait a bit with the announcement.
Origi has signed a four-year deal with the club, as per the club’s announcement, and he will be a useful resource for Stefano Pioli. It has previously been reported that he will earn €3.5m per year (most likely plus bonuses).
“AC Milan is delighted to announce the signing of Divock Origi. The Belgian has signed a contract with the Club until 30 June 2026,” the club said in a statement.
Origi will compete with Olivier Giroud for a starting spot initially this upcoming season, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic is recovering from his knee surgery. After the World Cup, though, the Swede should be back and thus increase the competition up front.
A lot of people are underestimating this guy… with him and Giroud fit we should be pretty safe this season when it comes to strikers
Lukaku got more goals than he had games played, he’s good but don’t expect 30 goals a year from him
We need Oliver Fisher back, he was the only guy who would consistent post an article every 40 mins 😂
Consistently*
Just a joke btw, good job by Isak Moller and Euan Burns too!
