# Liverpool: Divock Origi edges closer to Reds exit

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) forward Divock Origi is absolutely nailed-on to join AC Milan at the end of the season, journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed.**

### The Lowdown: Origi tipped for exit

The Belgian has long been tipped for a summer exit in recent months, with his current Reds deal [expiring](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/profil/spieler/148368) once the current campaign is over.

Origi has been continually [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/origi-milan-transfer-final-details-fabrizio-romano/) with a move to Milan, with the Serie A giants looking to add more firepower in the attacking third ahead of another year in the Champions League – they often rely on [Olivier Giroud](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/24444/Show/Olivier-Giroud) to lead the line, who will turn 36 at the start of next season.

The transfer is starting to look like a formality, with Romano giving a fresh update on the matter this week.

### The Latest: Origi to sign contract in Milan

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1527091621254287360), the renowned transfer expert claimed that the deal is now extremely close, even effectively done:

> “Divock Origi has no doubts on his next destination: he’s just waiting to complete medical tests and sign the contract as new AC Milan player in the coming weeks.
>
> “Liverpool have already accepted his decision – he’s definitely leaving on a free transfer.”

### The Verdict: Smash it, Divock

This is a perfect time for Origi to move on, with the 27-year-old too good a footballer to be sitting on the substitutes’ bench for Liverpool most weeks.

He is in his prime years and a move to Milan could be perfect, as the *Rossoneri* lie on the cusp of winning the Serie A title, meaning the Belgium international could be joining at a perfect time in their recent history.

For all Origi’s cult hero status at Liverpool, racking up [41 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/148368) across his time at the club, first and foremost he is a very good footballer and someone who could and deserves to thrive with a new challenge at another huge club.
