Milan are finally on the verge of finding new homes for forgotten former first-team players Divock Origi and Fode Ballo-Toure, as Monza are ready to invest in new reinforcements in January, according to Friday’s reports.
Origi and Ballo-Toure both spent the 2023-24 season out on loan with Premier League clubs, at Nottingham Forest and Fulham respectively, but they both struggled to impress during their time away from San Siro.
Origi featured on 20 occasions in the Premier League, but did not find the net in that time, while Ballo-Toure was limited to just six league appearances over the course of the season at Craven Cottage.

Both returned to Milan in the summer, but have not been part of the first-team squad since then, instead training with the Futuro side.
However, with the January transfer window in full swing, Monza have been in contact with the Rossoneri to discuss a possible deal for the two players currently sitting in the reserve ranks, according to Friday’s reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport.
There have not been any official offers yet, but it is expected that Milan will not request any significant fees for either player.
