CM: ‘Aura of mystery' – Milan still clueless as to what to do with Origi
Divock Origi is a distant memory for AC Milan, yet the memory still remains, taking a heavy wage each month, and no solution has been found yet.
It is a problem which pops up every few months, as Milan try to find an ending to the Origi saga which has plagued them for a few years now. Ultimately, the Belgian is living well, not playing and earning money. A dream scenario for him.
There, unfortunately, is no idea on how to fix this issue, and despite suggestions that his contract was going to be terminated after the summer, the club have not taken any action, leaving Calciomercato.com to question what to do.
As the report writes, the striker is shrouded in an 'aura of mystery' with no one really sure how to end the nightmare. Solutions have been tried, but the former Liverpool man has refused several loan moves away from the club, in fact, the only one he has approved was to Nottingham Forest – we all know how that went.
In addition to this, the player has not accepted a deal to terminate his contract, and it does not seem like this will change. So, there are another 15 months left of the marriage, and though a divorce is desired, one of the parties is not agreeing.
