# RB Leipzig interested in possible January loan deal for Divock Origi

RB Leipzig are considering signing Divock Origi on loan this month, according to [*Goal*](https://www.goal.com/en-gb)‘s [Ronan Murphy on Twitter](https://twitter.com/swearimnotpaul/status/1351823061885063169?s=20).

The Bundesliga giants are looking at attacking options to bring in, with the Liverpool striker part of three-man shortlist that also includes Kasper Nice’s Dolberg and Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho.

Origi has been deemed almost completely surplus to requirements at Anfield this season, [playing just 13 minutes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/124688/Show/Divock-Origi) in the Premier League.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Although the Belgian is clearly not a key part of Jurgen Klopp’s plans, there is always a possible risk in letting him leave.

If Origi was exiting permanently it would make more sense, allowing Liverpool to receive a fee for his services, but all a loan deal does is weaken the Reds’ squad further. On top of that, it fails to generate funds for a new signing.

The 25-year-old’s Liverpool career should come to an end this summer, however, considering how little he has contributed since the 2019 Champions League final, [scoring seven goals](https://www.lfchistory.net/players/player/profile/1276) in the 19 months since that famous victory.
