Zlatan Ibrahimovic has confirmed that Liverpool legend Divock Origi has been banished to the AC Milan youth team
Given the success of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool during his nine years at Anfield, it's no surprise when former Reds struggle to recapture such heights after leaving the club.
And while some at least enjoyed a reprieve elsewhere after an ill-judged move, it has become increasingly clear that the only way is down after leaving the heights of Liverpool behind. Consequently, Milan soon decided the Belgian was surplus to requirements. Left out of their squad for the opening matches of the 2023/24 season, he was loaned to Nottingham Forest on transfer deadline day, with the deal including an option to buy.
AC Milan reported back for pre-season on Monday, but Origi’s name was absent from the squad list of players who took part that was published by the club. Stripped of his squad number, Origi is comfortably the oldest player in a group made up of Under-21s. While he had been expected to be surplus to requirements at the San Siro anyway, Ibrahimovic’s statement has made the Serie A outfit’s stance clear as they look to force the striker out of the club.
