AC Milan appear to be finally closing in on ending their Divock Origi nightmare, with a ‘verbal agreement’ reached.
Despite being out of the squad for some time, Origi remains one of Milan ‘s highest-paid players. He signed in 2022 from Liverpool, but the Belgian striker has essentially played just one season with the Rossoneri, failing to shine and scoring just two goals.
Milan have tried for some time to get out of the huge contract that they signed him to but have so far failed. Now, however, Origi is in the final year of that deal and the margins for early termination have increased.
Matteo Moretto (via Radio Rossonera) spoke about the possibility of ending his deal as early as the winter, as he stated: “It is highly likely that the story between Origi and Milan will end during the January transfer market.”
After years without a solution, the journalist adds: “There’s a sort of verbal agreement for the parties to separate as early as January.” The Rossoneri could thus be close to solving what has now become a thorn in their side, especially financial.
During his three years at the club, Origi scored twice and spent a season on loan at Nottingham Forest. After returning to Milan, the Belgian striker stopped playing altogether, originally told to train with the Futuro but remaining at home instead.
