5 reasons why Divock Origi has struggled post-Liverpool
Divock Origi has faced challenges post-Liverpool, with factors like management changes and injuries affecting his performance and confidence.
It leaves Origi at crossroads again as he will have to quickly find a new club or risk disappearing into the wilderness at Milan.
The 29-year-old joined Milan as a free agent in the summer of 2022 and was handed a four-year contract worth €4 million per season but things went south very quickly.
Origi failed to impress at San Siro, scoring just two goals in 36 matches across all competitions, and Milan lost patience immediately.

‘Gor Mahia is calling’ - Fans urge ex-Liverpool striker to join K’Ogalo as he looks for new club
Kenyan fans have called on the unwanted AC Milan striker to consider signing for Gor Mahia even as clubs in Europe, America, and Middle East monitor his situation.
Former coach Stefano Pioli made him surplus to requirements and the club put him on the market after just one year in Italy. Buyers were, however, not forthcoming and the club and the player had to contend with a loan spell at Forest.
The ex-Liverpool striker, however, endured another disappointing season, scoring just one goal in 22 matches for the Premier League side, and there were no surprises when he was released.
With two years still remaining on his Milan contract, Milan have a decision to make as they can opt to terminate the deal and let him leave as a free agent, or look for other clubs interested in the player either on loan or permanently.
