CM: Origi returns to Milan – his salary and what is needed for a capital gain | OneFootball

Divock Origi has returned to Milan following the conclusion of his loan spell at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, with the English side opting not to make the move permanent.

As reported by Calciomercato.com, Milan will now be looking to move the Belgian forward on as he is deemed not to have a future with the club.

Origi arrived in the summer of 2022 on a free transfer from Liverpool, but he failed to make any sort of impact in Italy and was sent on loan to Forest in the summer of 2023 in the hopes that the deal would become permanent.

The historical cost of Origi is €660,000 which was just the agent’s fees. This season, the former Liverpool player cost Milan €165,000, equal to the amortization fee alone, from the moment the salary was paid by Nottingham Forest.

If he were to stay for the following season, he would cost Milan €5.4m as his salary is €4m per season and that contract runs until June 2026. Origi’s worth on the net balance sheet has dropped to €330,000 which means Milan just need to sell him for more than that amount to register a capital gain.

It is not yet clear how much interest there is in Origi given he scored one goal for Forest.
