"It would definitely be fair to label Divock Origi a flop at AC Milan, even a mega flop, as the Rossoneri ended up paying a whopping €6.8m per goal scored by the Belgian (!). After the Scudetto season, i.e. 2021-22, Milan felt that they needed someone who could alternate with Olivier Giroud up front given the Frenchman's age. And so, Paolo Maldini identified Origi as the target and secured him on a free transfer, putting a four-year deal on the table."
"However, the first season was ruined by physical issues, rarely being in top condition despite missing just eight games on paper. He found the back of the net twice in 36 appearances, though only ten of these were from the first minute. Milan subsequently agreed to send him on loan to Nottingham Forest for the 2023-24 season, but that's when the real downfall began. Featuring just 22 times, he only got one goal and returned to the Rossoneri in even worse condition."
Divock Origi joined AC Milan on a four-year free transfer to provide attacking cover after the 2021-22 Scudetto season. The first season was hampered by physical issues, resulting in two goals in 36 appearances and only ten starts. A loan to Nottingham Forest in 2023-24 produced one goal in 22 appearances and a physical decline. Milan paid Origi a €4m net annual salary (gross €5.24m after the Growth Decree), covering multiple seasons and totaling €13.1m in wages plus €700k agent commission. The overall cost equated to approximately €382.2k per game and €6.88m per goal.
