"This morning, two sleeps before Christmas, AC Milan may have already been given their first present of the period, with Divock Origi leaving. The debacle regarding Origi and his future has plagued Milan for an extended period now. Last season, there were hopes that he would leave in January, and failing that, in the summer. However, he did not leave. In the summer, it seemed that a contract termination could be agreed upon, especially with Fode Ballo-Toure departing."
"Now, though, the saga seems to be done, with the Diavolo reportedly agreeing to a contract termination. As Fabrizio Romano reports on his X account, the Belgian has signed the paperwork to end his time at the club, making him available from the start of 2026. He has been 'outside of the project' since 2024, so this is the end of a multi-year ordeal. Of course, it has taken much longer than most will have hoped, and with his deal expiring in the summer, Milan have spent more on his contract than was hoped."
Divock Origi has signed paperwork terminating his AC Milan contract and will be available from the start of 2026. The Origi situation persisted for multiple seasons, with expectations he would depart in January or the following summer, but he remained. A summer attempt to agree a termination appeared possible, particularly after Fode Ballo-Toure's departure, but no settlement was reached and Origi stayed with the Rossoneri longer than anticipated. Origi has been outside of the project since 2024. The contract termination ends a multi-year ordeal and provides a timely reduction in the club's wage commitments.
