Overview

  • Milan issued an official statement on December 23 confirming Origi’s contract termination by mutual consent, leaving him free to sign in January.
  • The 30-year-old made 36 appearances and scored two goals for Milan, with his last outing for the club coming in May 2023.
  • After a disappointing loan at Nottingham Forest in 2023/24, he was excluded from the first team and reportedly maintained fitness with a personal trainer.
  • Multiple reports, including La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sky Sport Italia, describe months of talks to end a deal worth about €300,000 per month.
  • His free-agent status has triggered media speculation over short-term suitors, including chatter about Liverpool following Alexander Isak’s injury, with no concrete interest confirmed.
