Alexis Saelemaekers is headed to Bologna, which successfully saw out the negotiation, and Milan wish to part ways with Divock Origi too by Friday. Despite their initial demands, they eventually okayed a loan deal for the Belgian winger, Relevo’s Mattia Moretto relays.
He’ll take the medicals for the Felsinei Tuesday. They’ll pay €500K and have a €10M option to buy at the end of the season. They bested Betis in the race after courting him for a few days. He departs the Rossoneri after three and a half seasons, where he collected 140 appearances, 10 goals, and 14 assists. The new signings pushed the 24-year-old out the door.
After shipping off Saelemaekers, Milan will try to do the same with Origi, but his wages and desires pose significant issues, Sky relays. After an inquiry by Udinese, Torino also asked for info about the conditions of the prospective deal. Antonio Sanabria just went down with a thigh problem. Pietro Pellegri is the only other striker in their squad.
The Belgian marksman, who joined in on a Bosman move from Liverpool last year, could find some last-minute suitors in the Premier League, the outlet indicates.
Our Take on Milan, Saelemaekers, and Origi
Getting rid of the center-forward without taking a big financial hit would be a remarkable achievement. Considering his lofty salary, the solution is unlikely to be an Italian minnow.
