Liverpool fans might not see any new signings this summer, but it appears a former fan favorite is on the move. According to Fabrizio Romano, Divock Origi has been given the go-ahead to leave AC Milan on a free transfer in the coming weeks and is exploring new opportunities.
Origi is certain to depart, with potential options in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and some MLS teams showing interest for January.
The Belgian striker hasn’t replicated his impressive performances from his time at Liverpool. With just one goal and one assist in 22 appearances for Nottingham Forest, it seems unlikely he will return to the Premier League soon.
A move to the lucrative Middle Eastern leagues could offer him a significant financial boost and a final career payday. However, at 29, Origi might choose to wait for opportunities in top European leagues to continue competing at a high level.
Regardless of where he ends up, Origi will receive a hero’s welcome if he returns to Anfield. We hope his next move proves successful and that another club benefits from the skills of this cult hero.
