Real Betis are thought to be eyeing up a move for Liverpool forward Divock Origi, according to reports in Spain.
Estadio Deportivo claim that the La Liga side feel they could tempt the Reds to sell the Belgian, who only has one year left on his current contract.
The European champions have offered Origi a new deal on the back of his crucial contributions last season, however, the 24-year-old is currently considering his options.
Despite his telling involvements in Liverpool’s title challenge and Champions League win, the former Lille man featured only 21 times in 2018/19, with 14 of those appearances coming from the bench.
Therefore, it is thought Origi may ask to leave this summer in order to find more game time elsewhere.
The reports states that Origi’s wages may be a stumbling block for Betis, though, who are unlikely to be able to match his demands.
Previous reports have also suggested Liverpool would refuse to sanction the sale of Origi, making any potential transfer tough to negotiate.
Origi’s goals against Everton, Newcastle, Barcelona and Tottenham have given him a ‘cult hero’ status at Anfield, and the Merseyside club are keen for him to stay as they look to build on their recent success.
