Virals: Liverpool striker Divock Origi gaining ‘plenty of interest’

Liverpool striker Divock Origi is one of a number of players potentially on the move this summer.

Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp is expected to oversee a minor squad overhaul in order to sufficiently replenish the Anfield ranks.

The 26-year-old Belgian could be one of those sacrificed in order to raise funds after a disappointing 2020/21 campaign.

According to a report from 90min, as cited by Anfield Edition on Twitter, the frontman mightn’t be short of options as the window heats up.

The report also mentions interest from abroad in the 29-cap star and claims that the players ‘agents have been working hard’ in order to find a move.

Often the man for the big moment previously, Origi endured a difficult season on Merseyside last term – scoring just once in 17 appearances across all competitions.

Valued at £10.8million and in the final 12 months of a deal (Transfermarkt), this summer represents the last opportunity to land a healthy fee for the Belgian.

Although some of the aforementioned clubs interested would be unlikely to meet demands from both club and player, a hive of admirers will no doubt drive up the price somewhat.

Neverthelss, interest from Scotland is intriguing due to Steven Gerrard’s involvement at Rangers and with Odsonne Edouard likely to leave Celtic.

Albeit Klopp clearly has an affection for the man he previously hailed as ‘incredibly important’, this is surely the summer to finally sell the UEFA Champions League final, semi-final and Merseyside derby hero.

A name that is well and truly written into Liverpool folklore, should Origi leave he could do so with his held firmly held high.
