Divock Origi refuses to leave AC Milan despite inactivity

Divock Origi, a former Liverpool striker, is causing a stir at AC Milan by refusing to leave the club despite not playing since 2023. Once hailed as "world-class" by Jurgen Klopp, Origi's career has taken a downward turn since he left Liverpool. Origi made a name for himself at Liverpool, notably scoring in the Champions League final. He left on a free transfer to join AC Milan, hoping for a fresh start. However, his time in Italy has not gone well. He has not appeared in a match for the team in over two years. Reports indicate that Origi is rejecting loan offers, leading to speculation about his choices. He previously played for Nottingham Forest in the 2023/2024 season but only managed one goal in 22 games. His struggles may have influenced his decision to stay at Milan. AC Milan has tried to negotiate an early end to his contract, which runs until 2026, but Origi is adamant about staying. He appears willing to see out the remainder of his deal, despite not contributing to the team. Klopp, who praised Origi during his time at Liverpool, referred to him as a "legend" and a "fantastic footballer." This current situation marks a significant decline for a player once viewed as an exciting talent.
