Divock Origi has found it hard to enjoy regular playing time at Liverpool under Jürgen Klopp’s orders. He has been restricted to 14 appearances in all competitions this season, which includes only five starts and none of them were in the league.

Despite struggling for prominence at the Merseyside club, the 26-year-old continues to attract interest from elsewhere, mainly because his contract at Anfield will run down in June.

For the past few weeks, we have discussed Atalanta and Napoli looking at the Reds striker and now AC Milan are added to the list, if a report from Calciomercato is to be believed.

The Italian club’s technical director, Paolo Maldini, was ‘captivated’ by Origi’s qualities during Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Milan at the San Siro. He found the back of the net for the visitors.

The Belgium international’s profile is ‘very popular’ at Milan and the idea to sign him could take shape in the coming weeks. That’s because the ‘first exploratory contacts have already been staged in recent days’ .

Origi will be available on a free transfer in the summer and he’s received several requests from the Premier League, but the possibility to play for a ‘top club like Milan fascinates him a lot’.

Therefore, a move to AC Milan remains possible.
