Leeds United transfer news as Divock Origi approach cannot be ruled out at AC Milan
Leeds United are ready to knock on the door of AC Milan to sign their outcast striker Divock Origi this summer, according to Calciomercato.
The Italian outlet has reported on its website that Milan need to be aware of numerous Premier League clubs, with the Belgian hitman not being short of suitors.
Crystal Palace, West Ham and even Everton are just three of the teams mentioned when the future of the former Liverpool forward came up for discussions.
AC Milan are ready to make a capital gain on Origi, who will be shown the exit door this summer.
Many of the clubs mentioned even approached the striker before he made the move to the San Siro, it is suggested, although it is unknown whether Leeds were one of them.
Patrick Bamford, Rodrigo and Georginio Rutter are the current options to lead the line at Elland Road, with two of them fairly useless in terms of a return this season.
No chance.
The transfer window is nowhere near opening yet, and the rumours are already starting.
Leeds are currently in the middle of the biggest relegation battle the Premier League has ever seen, so the last thing on their minds right now are transfers.
When you add that to the fact that the 49ers Enterprises are readying to take the reins from Andrea Radrizzani, there may be a completely different transfer strategy that comes along with that.
Origi is not the type of player that the Whites go after, not now and very unlikely in the future, as he follows a very similar path to Michy Batshuayi, his fellow Belgian.
The number nine has hardly played at AC Milan, and he certainly hasn’t set the San Siro alight since his move, so a switch to Elland Road would not likely go down well in West Yorkshire.
Let’s concentrate on staying in the Premier League before these silly transfer rumours are looked into even more.
