AC Milan 'considering' major Divock Origi decision just months after Liverpool transfer

AC Milan are reportedly considering selling former Liverpool forward Divock Origi in the upcoming summer transfer window.

A fan-favourite during his time at Anfield, Origi left Liverpool during the summer in search of regular game time but has had to remain patient for opportunities due to a mixture of injury issues and competition for places.

Origi is an Anfield icon for a number of memorable contributions during his time with the Reds, which include scoring in the 2019 Champions League semi-final second leg versus Barcelona and subsequent final in Madrid. He also made a habit of bagging goals against Everton.

Explaining the reasons behind his transfer to the San Siro in the summer, Origi said: "Being able to win is the biggest thing, as well as seeing the process of building a team, being able to win championships, what it takes to win and be able to perform in difficult moments and big moments. All these things led to me having more experience and 27 is a very nice age: you feel like your body is getting better and better.

"The first conversation I had on a club level (with director of football Frederic Massara and technical director Paolo Maldini), it was so nice to speak to them and see their vision and how the club is evolving.

“Playing here and being able to get that atmosphere at San Siro was always a special feeling. I saw the way the team played, the way the coach managed the team, the way the fans are, the history in the club: all these things are elements that led to me being able to come here and join the club."

However, according to a report by CalcioMercato, Milan could decide to Origi in the summer as they are frustrated by his injury problems. So far this season, the Belgian has played just 14 times for his new club and missed Milan's recent friendly defeat to Liverpool due to injury.
