£10.8m man has uncertain future at Liverpool, player could leave in January or July [Opinion]
Divock Origi came off the bench for Liverpool in Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid, but the 26-year-old has an uncertain future at Anfield due to a lack of playing time. Origi isn’t commanding a starting place after falling down the pecking order under Jurgen Klopp, so this could be the end of his seven-year stint on Merseyside. The £10.8m-rated Belgian international joined Liverpool from LOSC Lille in 2014 and has gone on to make 163 appearances in all competitions, scoring 37 goals with 16 assists. Origi has played in a lot of games, but 60% of them have come from the bench while 26% have resulted in him being subbed. Klopp has Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota who can operate up front, so Origi seldom features anymore. He’s made just one Premier League appearance this...
