Romelu Lukaku 'rejected' by European giant in favour of Liverpool hero Divock Origi

AC Milan have reportedly ruled out a move for Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku with their focus locked on capturing the signature of Divock Origi once his contract expires at Liverpool in the summer.

Ex-Inter Milan man Lukaku rejoined the London club in the summer for a fee of around £97 million, but the Belgian has not fit in with Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel's plans and finds himself out of form.

A takeover is imminent at AC Milan and, with new funds available, the club are looking for attacking reinforcements to help them get back to their former glories. A move for Origi is said to be very close to being confirmed.
