AC Milan, after finishing the tour in USA, return to Milanello and they will be joined by players who were left out of the squad. Among these names, there is Divock Origi. He was left out purely due to technical reasons. But, it seems now that Pioli will fully reintegrate him back into the group during the preparations leading to the start of the new season.
This move was necessary since the player will still train with the rest of the team for contractual reasons, but it does not alter his future. Origi is still on the market and is not a central figure in the coach and the club's decisions. However, if he remains with AC Milan after the transfer window closes, he could potentially be useful to the team, provided there is a chance to include him numerically in the Champions League and league squads, from which he is currently excluded.
The idea of moving to Saudi Arabia doesn't appeal to Origi, and his only viable option remains a potential move to Turkey in the final stages of the transfer window.
As for Lorenzo Colombo, there is significant interest, with 5 teams, including Genoa and Verona, looking to have him on loan immediately. AC Milan is currently taking its time and keeping him as the third-choice striker, but it's not ruled out that he might actually leave by August 31st. In that case, what happens? Milan's plan is to make a signing only if both Colombo and Origi leave. They're looking for a young and promising player who can fit in behind Giroud and Okafor in the role of the third-choice striker, as relayed by Calciomercato.com.
