According to AC Milan club directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara, Divock Origi was supposed to be the true great alternative to Oliver Giroud. A player who, due to his technical and physical characteristics, could make a difference in the Serie A league. However, the Belgian national, due to the injury he suffered at the end of last season, started his preparation under Stefano Pioli late, and this aspect negatively affected him for some time.
Next summer, there will be some strong choices made at Milan. Quality needs to be added in midfield, and greater incisiveness in attack, writes Calciomercato.com. This is why Origi cannot consider his spot secured at Milanello in view of next season.
The AC Milan club is still convinced of the choice made twelve months ago. However, they may have to sell the former Liverpool player if an offer around 15 million euros, a fee that would be all capital gains as Origi was signed on a free transfer last summer. Origi's current deal with the Rossoneri expires in June 2026.
