Report: Duo want £60,000-a-week Liverpool player, Carragher says he’s ‘nowhere near good enough’

Liverpool are awaiting offers from Wolves and Napoli for striker Divock Origi, according to The Mirror.

The Reds are hoping to raise more funds before the transfer window slams shut. Harry Wilson and Marko Grujic have already departed this summer.

Origi is also deemed surplus requirements. The 26-year-old scored just once and claimed two assists from 17 appearances last season.

Now, Jurgen Klopp wants to get rid of him and the striker is heading for the exit. He will, however, only leave if the £20 million valuation is met.

Bruno Lage is in place at Wolves. He will hope to make a few signings before the transfer deadline and Origi is on his list.

Napoli would perhaps represent a more attractive option for the Belgian. They will be in European football next season and that could give them the edge.

Origi was left out of Roberto Martinez’s squad for Euro 2020 and that will spell the final straw for the 29-cap star.

He’ll be desperate to get back into contention for the squad and to do that he’ll need to be playing regular football.

Origi earns £60,000-a-week at Liverpool and letting him leave appears to make perfect sense.

Liverpool should lower asking price for Origi

The Reds may struggle to get £20 million for a player who was badly out of sorts and somewhat rarely seen last season.

Jamie Carragher said on Sky Sports, via Goal, back in February that Origi was ‘nowhere near good enough’ for the Liverpool first-team.

He has a point and Klopp needs better players if he is to challenge for the title once again next season.

Origi has scored some really important goals for Liverpool. When they won the Champions League during 2018/19, the Belgian netted in the final and he’ll always be a cult hero for that.

The time has come for a departure though and Liverpool have to offload him this summer.
