AC Milan are continuing to suffer financially from the Divock Origi transfer, completed in the 2022 summer transfer window.
As MilanNews write, Origi to Milan ‘can be considered one of the worst transfer operations in the recent history of European football’, with the Belgian still under contract with the Rossoneri but totally out of the club’s plans.
Fode Ballo-Touré is also out of the senior squad but he has at least been used in Serie C this season, yet the former Liverpool player isn’t even in training every day and is instead completely excluded from club activities.
Origi is a ‘separated man at home’ who doesn’t want to leave the generous contract he signed in the summer of 2022 until June 2026, worth about €4m net per year and putting him among Milan’s highest earners.
First a loan to Nottingham Forest went badly, then in the summer there was an attempt to reach a mutual termination of the contract. However, Origi is putting up a wall in every way and there don’t seem to be any signs of openness towards a solution that would take him away from Milan.
Of course there is some blame attached to the management for awarding such a rich deal, but questions have to be asked about why the player doesn’t want to find a scenario that would allow him to play again, beyond the salary.
