the love story between LOSC and AC Milan continues

This weekend was marked by the coronation of Manchester City and AC Milan at the end of the suspense during the 38th and last day. The Italian club has been acquired and has big ambitions for next season with the aim of making a great run in the Champions League. For this, the Milanese management intends to strengthen and a former Lille player should soon be formalized, before perhaps seeing a current Mastiff arrive?

Origi, the 5th ex-Lillois on Milanese soil

Crowned Italian champion after a 3-0 victory on the lawn of Sassuolo, AC Milan regained their crown after 11 long years of waiting! Among the players crowned alongside Olivier Giroud and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, we find 4 former Lille residents: Raphaël Leao (2018-2019), Fodé Ballo-Touré (2017-2019), Simon Kjaer (2013-2015) and Mike Maignan (2015-2021)! With in particular Leao who was voted best player and Maignan best goalkeeper in Serie A, these former Lille players played a big role in this coronation and this love story will continue because, as announced a few weeks ago, Divock Origi will engage freely with the Rossoneris!

The striker trained at LOSC won everything with Liverpool and decided not to extend his lease across the Channel to find playing time, while continuing to play in the Champions League. AC Milan offers him these 2 conditions and so it seems to be a good compromise for all parties. If he should not be the only attacking reinforcement this summer, the club wants to recruit a central defender and Sven Botman has been in the sights for a few months! Manchester United seems to have taken the lead in this file but nothing is done, the club could therefore have 6 former Mastiffs in its workforce next seasonunless Leao goes to PSG who would be ready to spend 80 M€ for him!

AC Milan are waiting for Divock Origi in Italy next week to undergo medical tests and then sign the contract, he’s joining fresh Serie A champions on a free move. ?????? #ACMilan
