Divock Origi remains effectively without a club at the moment given that he isn’t even training with AC Milan, but there is hope that he will soon have a solution.
According to what is being reported by Fabrizio Romano, Origi has the green light to leave Milan on a free transfer in the final weeks and he is ‘ready to find new solution’ elsewhere after what has been a nightmare couple of years.
Origi ‘will definitely leave’ the Rossoneri before the window closes and at present the Belgian striker is ‘considering options in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and also some MLS teams’ who are more interested for January than the summer mercato.
Having arrived on a free transfer from Liverpool in the summer of 2022, Origi was meant to be the back-up to Olivier Giroud and even potentially take his starting spot given he was in his prime years and had scored big goals during his time at Anfield.
However, he suffered fitness problems at the start and never really got going, scoring twice across all competitions in his first season. He was then sent on loan to Nottingham Forest, where he failed to net a single Premier League goal and thus they did not use their option to buy.
It has been reported that Milan will terminate Origi’s contract by mutual consent, which also should help the player reach an agreement elsewhere. It makes sense as he arrived on a free transfer – with no transfer fee to recoup – and the Rossoneri would also save over €5m in gross wages.
Milan won’t save 5M in wages because almost certainly there’ll be some pay off of a percentage of the remaining salary he is owed.
However, nothing bad to say about Origi – he’s been paid very well but that’s Milan’s fault, not his his – and he’s never said a bad word or complained despite the club trying to force him out repeatedly and never giving him a full pre-season. Fair play to him and I hope he finds somewhere he can get some game time.
Milan will save 5m means if he runs his contract we in total will pay him around 10m and by terminating early he will agree to get only half but can leave to play elsewhere.
That’s a fair take R, he might have played badly except for that longshot goal but he has always behaved as a true professional and he should be commended for that so I’ll wish him the best in his future club as well
The piece of shiiit is gonna wait till the end so we pay him part of the contract and then will join a different club
This is gambling if you take a free player. Milan does not want to buy a striker but wants one whose contract is about to expire. Gambling must have a bad effect. If you want to buy a striker who is still under contract, you need extra money
It’s said untill January.. so it is not definitely untill happens
