When he left Liverpool, there was a hope that Origi could become somewhat of a similar figure for Milan. If nothing else, a player to provide important goals. Instead, he did neither, all whilst taking an excessive wage.
The past few years have been filled with regret, and the timer is slowly ticking towards the end of the 2025/26 season, when his contract will expire. However, in the past year, it has been more a case of disappearance.
Rather than staying in Milano, the Belgian has been in Rome, away from Milanello and any of the side projects offered. Two different entities, though he still reaps the rewards of the contract which hangs over the Rossoneri’s head.
Another go
Today, the striker was present at Casa Milan for a meeting with the management ‘in full’ as MilanNews write. There were no new topics discussed, just a revisiting of the old; the question of a mutual ending to the deal.
A negotiation is underway, and there are no answers just yet. However, there is a start. If nothing else, there is only a year and five days to go. The timer keeps ticking on until then.
