AC Milan 'nearing agreement with Liverpool's Divock Origi'

AC Milan are reportedly closing in on an agreement with Liverpool attacker Divock Origi.

The Belgium international's contract at Anfield is due to expire at the end of June, and he has allegedly decided to leave the Merseyside giants in search of pastures new.

Milan have been strongly linked with the 26-year-old in recent weeks, and according to Sky Italia, the Italian giants are now nearing an agreement over a summer move.

The report claims that the Serie A outfit want 'a young and reliable forward' for the 2022-23 campaign and have identified Origi as the ideal acquisition.

The Belgian has made 14 appearances for Jurgen Klopp's side during the current season, finding the back of the net on five occasions, in addition to registering three assists.

Origi has only featured on five occasions in the Premier League, though, with the attacker down the pecking order in terms of the forward positions at Anfield.

The striker has scored 40 times and registered 17 assists in 171 appearances for the Reds.
