Divock Origi Liverpool

James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo reports that Divock Origi could leave Anfield in the winter window. The Belgian was linked with a move away in the summer but remained at the club.

However, the 23-year-old hasn’t played a single senior minute for Liverpool, but the report adds that the Reds will demand a fee of £20million for the Belgian in January.

Wolverhampton Wanderers could make a move for the Belgian striker. The club were willing to spend £22million plus add-ons in the summer but Origi wasn’t willing to move to Molineux, as per the report.

The report adds that Everton are also interested in the 23-year-old but they have not made any official contact with Liverpool.

Borussia Dortmund were also interested in the striker (h/t Liverpool Echo) but wanted to sign him on a loan in the summer.

Origi is not getting a lot of game time this season as Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturridge are being preferred by Jurgen Klopp.

The Belgian needs to move out and truth be told, he hasn’t been the same since a horrible tackle by Ramiro Funes Mori in a Merseyside derby in Klopp’s first season in charge.

Origi could fetch us some decent money and hopefully, he gets the right move away from the club to reignite his career elsewhere.
