In January, the player “would say goodbye” to Forest.

On summer deadline day, AC Milan’s Divock Origi joined Nottingham Forest on a loan deal with an option to buy.

This move hasn’t paid off for any of the parties as the striker has been reduced to a back up role at Nottingham Forest. He’s also failed to score a goal or register an assist from nine games [179 minutes] this season.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Belgium international’s time with the Tricky Trees could come to an end in the winter market.

Origi ‘hasn’t fully convinced’ for the Premier League side so far and ‘could say goodbye’ to them, as early as January.

In this way, the former Liverpool man’s return to England can come to an end soon.

The 28-year-old left the Reds to join the Serie A side on a free transfer in 2022 and struggled to impress under Stefano Pioli’s orders last season. If his temporary stay with Nuno Espírito Santo’s side were to be cut short, it’s unlikely for him to return to Milan.

Di Marzio says ‘there is interest’ in the Nottingham Forest man from MLS sides, including Los Angles FC, FC Dallas and Cincinnati. These clubs could open the door for Origi this month.
