Leeds and Crystal Palace target left out of club’s pre-season tour – No longer considered ‘part of project’

Crystal Palace and Leeds United target Divock Origi seems to be really leaving AC Milan in this transfer window.

The latest news, brought by Calciomercato, show that the striker isn’t even being taken to the next stage of the Rossoneri’s pre-season tour, as he’s no longer considered ‘part of the project’.

Milan are taking their squad to the United States, where they have big friendlies against Barcelona, Juventus and Real Madrid.

And according to the report, the likes of Origi, Fode Ballo-Touré and Ante Rebic are all being left out because of their transfer situation.

Crystal Palace and Leeds United were both linked to the striker this week, with Sport Mediaset claiming Eagles and Whites were interested in him.

That report said there were ‘offers’ from the English clubs for the player, even though there were no details on how much they were putting on the table.

Now by leaving the player out of the pre-season squad, Milan basically give a big message that he’s not wanted at the club, and that may even be a good argument for Crystal Palace and Leeds to try for a cheap deal.
