Today, Nottingham Forest made their choice on a player who made £120,000 per week in 2023–2024 apparent.
The Reds’ 2-1 victory over Burnley on Sunday guaranteed them a spot in the Premier League for another year.
Now that multiple events are happening in the City Ground, Forest will probably have a busy summer.
There will be a lot of focus on departures, as it was revealed today that several players will be leaving.
A loanee of the team has now caused his parent club a great deal of headaches because Forest has made an unsatisfactory decision on his future.
Nottingham Forest make decision on Divock Origi
After Forest decided not to acquire Divock Origi, it would seem that AC Milan is having some issues with him.
The San Siro giants are keen to get rid of Origi in the summer, according to Sempre Milan.
They believe that his tenure at Forest will be challenging in that regard, and his exorbitant pay is becoming an issue.
Origi makes £120,000 a week at AC Milan, and it seems unlikely that Forest will be able to let him go considering his lackluster performance there.
During his tenure at Forest, the 29-year-old managed just one goal, which he scored against Bristol City in the FA Cup.
On their official website, Forest declared today that they will not be closing any agreements to purchase any of their loan players.
That includes Origi, and from AC Milan’s point of view, that is far from ideal.
Forest have to learn lessons from loan market disaster
Origi wasn’t on his own in proving a disastrous loan signing made by Forest during 2023/24.
None of the club’s players who came to the club on loan during the campaign had much of an impact.
Gonzalo Montiel was perhaps the one exception – but he also looks like a player who is highly unlikely to sign permanently.
Forest have to learn some big lessons when it comes to the loan market.
It’s a market that could prove so useful if used properly but this season the club just didn’t utilise it right.
Lessons will hopefully be learned and if Forest do nab any loan deals ahead of next season, they need to be players who can make an impact on the team.
