Burnley coach Vincent Kompany has called AC Milan forward Divock Origi to encourage him to make the move from the Rossoneri to the Premier League, a report claims.
As has been reported by Corriere della Sera (via Milan News), Milan still intend to sell Origi or at least loan him out before the transfer window shuts at 20:00 CEST on Friday.
They have been attempting this all summer but the Belgian has not entertained a move, choosing to fight for his place instead.
Various clubs have shown interest but the most serious right now seems to be Burnley, coached by former international teammate of Origi, Kompany.
He has reportedly called Origi to speak directly with him about making the move, but it remains to be seen if this has had any sway over Origi’s thoughts.
With Mehdi Taremi expected to arrive from Porto, there is even less need for Origi in the squad.
