Divock Origi is being considered as a substitute for Zlatan Ibrahimović. But can Origi be a worthy replacement for Ibra? Ibra is a very talented player, at the same time he could help strengthen the morale of the team players. Origi is a talented player. If AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli can use Origi properly, he will fight to win the AC Milan title next season.
Origi is an experienced and skilled player, he deserves to be Ibrahimović's replacement. He may be not the same as Ibrahimović, he has different characteristics. But if he can contribute well and improve Milan productivity in scoring, it surely will strengthen the whole players' morale. Well, I assume he has an opportunity to prove that he has the right player to replace Ibrahimović's role in the field. Now, it depends on how Origi can adapt well on AC Milan tactics.
Origi is a good player and there is no doubt about that but will he be able to replace Zlatan Ibrahimović? this is the bigger question.
I think he will be motivated to prove that he is capable of producing some good results and he is not hyped as much as a lot of other players and that is going to be a positive for him in my opinion.

Honestly, I'm not sure Divock Origi will be successful with AC Milan, because seeing his performances with Liverpool is not so impressive.
But maybe because Origi at Liverpool didn't get much playing time so it was difficult to develop, hopefully with AC Milan Origi can develop
into a productive striker. Because currently AC Milan does need a new striker, which Ibrahimovic had to rest due to injury until next year.
The 27-year-old Divock Origi will sign a 4-year contract with AC Milan, and make Origi AC Milan's first signing in this summer's transfer market.
Next AC Milan immediately brought Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea by paying 5 million euros for the loan fee, then after that will pay 20 million euros
at the end of next season to make it permanent. It's not too expensive for a good player like Ziyech. Moreover, Ziyech is reportedly already unhappy
with Chelsea, so the possibility of Ziyech's move to AC Milan will be realized soon.
Playing for Liverpool and playing for Milan is a very different thing.
In Liverpool, he had a lot of competition in the team itself and he also had really harder opponents compared to what he is going to face in the Italian league. And he should also be keen to prove himself. This is a very good opportunity for him. I don’t obviously think that it is going to be any easier for him because he has a lot more responsibility on him right now but I think he should be more confident.
