A club legend is finally on the verge of signing for a new club and Darwin Nunez has excited fans with his latest social media post. Here’s Friday’s roundup.

Origi’s Milan move to be completed next week

It’s been common knowledge for some time, but Divock Origi‘s impending move to AC Milan is to be completed next week, according to reports.

After eight years at Anfield, the Belgian is moving onto pastures new after his Liverpool contract came to an end at the conclusion of the 2021/22 season.

Serie A champions AC Milan quickly positioned themselves for Origi’s signature earlier this year and are now set to announce his arrival next week, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The striker will compete for a starting spot alongside the likes of Olivier Giroud, Ante Rebic and Rafael Leao in attack.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 40, is also still at the club, but it remains to be seen whether he will continue his playing career after undergoing knee surgery last month.

Liverpool’s £85m signing Darwin Nunez has already taken the No. 27 shirt that Origi vacated after his departure.

With Sadio Mane‘s move to Bayern Munich now official and Takumi Minamino‘s Monaco transfer imminent, the Reds look set to go into next season with their attacking options consisting of Nunez, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Roberto Firmino and Fabio Carvalho.
