Liverpool striker Divock Origi is increasingly close to joining AC Milan this summer, with the Serie A club's board giving the 'green light' for the move.

The Lowdown: Origi leaving this summer

The Belgian seems a certainty to move on from the Reds at the end of this season, with his current deal expiring at that point.

Origi has been a spectator for much of the 2021/22 campaign, making just five starts in all competitions and finding himself well down the attacking pecking order.

He has been constantly linked with a summer move to Milan and it looks like a matter of time until it is completed now.

The Latest: Milan move edges closer

According to TuttoMercatoWeb [via Sport Witness], 'the green light has arrived from the board' of Milan, as he looks set to seal a transfer to Italy.

It is claimed that 'only the signature is missing' and that an 'agreement' has been reached, bringing an end to an unforgettable spell at Liverpool for Origi.

The Verdict: One last legendary moment?

The 26-year-old have may become more of a bit-part player by the year but he will always be remembered for scoring some truly iconic goals for the Reds, from Everton to Barcelona.

With Liverpool still battling for an unprecedented quadruple, the hope is that Origi has one last huge moment in him - one that further enhances his legend at Anfield.

It would be a fitting way to end for him, only strengthening the argument that he is one of the Reds' all-time great cult heroes.
