The Belgian striker\u2019s contract with the Rossoneri has been terminated, with the 30-year-old failing to make a single competitive appearance during the most recent season.<\/p>\n<p>Origi joined AC Milan in the summer of 2022 following the expiration of his contract at Liverpool, where he enjoyed a highly successful stint and earned cult-hero status. However, his move to Serie A never truly took off. Despite arriving with high expectations, Origi struggled to cement a place in Milan\u2019s plans and gradually slipped down the pecking order.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, the Belgian international had been completely out of the AC Milan project since June 2024. He was excluded from matchday squads and first-team considerations, effectively spending the season on the sidelines.<\/p>\n<p>Origi\u2019s departure means he is now free to sign with any club without a transfer fee, a situation that could attract interest from teams looking for an experienced forward on a short-term deal. Despite his struggles in Italy, Origi\u2019s r\u00e9sum\u00e9 remains impressive, highlighted by crucial goals in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League during his time at Liverpool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Liverpool forward Divock Origi is officially available as a free agent after leaving AC Milan, bringing an end to\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":37581,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[670,3686,2429,1823,3796,4298,4162,219,4424],"class_list":["post-16775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-ac-milan","tag-david-ornstein","tag-divock-origi","tag-fabrizio-romano","tag-football","tag-free-agent","tag-january-transfer-window","tag-liverpool","tag-origi"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16775","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16775"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16775\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
