Origi free to join Milan as Liverpool clause not triggered

Divock Origi is free to sign for Milan as a free agent as he has failed to reach the number of appearances necessary to extend his Liverpool contract by one more season.

The Belgium international is in advanced talks over a free move to San Siro in the summer. According to multiple reports, he will sign a €4m-a-year deal with the Rossoneri after his contract with Liverpool expires.

According to The Athletic, Origi has failed to reach the number of appearances needed to extend his contract at Anfield until 2023. Therefore, he will leave the club on a free transfer.

The report confirms that Milan are in advanced talks with the 27-year-old. Origi will likely be only the first signing to strengthen Milan’s attack in 2022-23. Elliott are in talks with Investcorp and RedBird Capital Partners over the club’s takeover, which should be completed by the end of the season. The Rossoneri will bring in more attacking reinforcements in the summer, regardless of the future of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
