Divock Origi is one of the players who appears to have been offered to Barcelona by his representatives as his Liverpool contract runs down, according to a report from Mundo Deportivo.

Origi could well be on the move in the coming months. Jurgen Klopp has already insisted that the striker will be going nowhere during the January transfer window.

His deal with the Reds expires at the end of the season. And given that he has never been able to establish himself as a regular starter on Merseyside, you would imagine that the 26-year-old may now feel that the time may be right to move on.

Interestingly, it would appear that his agents are working on potential options for the summer. Mundo Deportivo reports that he is amongst the raft of strikers offered to Barcelona.

Barca are keeping an eye out for potential bargain signings. Of course, their financial situation has been well-documented. Other names mentioned by Mundo Deportivo include Alexandre Lacazette and Diego Costa.

Liverpool keeping Divock Origi will be difficult if clubs such as Barcelona show interest

Origi has been an understudy at Liverpool. He has not reached double figures for league starts since returning from Wolfsburg. This season, he has only made three substitute appearances.

But his record highlights what he has brought to Liverpool. Those three games have seen Origi score twice.

He is a club hero. The Belgian has scored so many vital goals during his time at Liverpool. Klopp labelled him an ‘incredible‘ finisher.

So keeping him beyond the summer would be a boost for the Reds.

Keeping him however, will not be easy if Barcelona show any interest. He is coming into what should be the peak years of his career. And he may want to go somewhere where he is likely to play more.

Of course, Barca may struggle to offer assurances over game-time. But clearly, it is going to be difficult for any player to turn the Catalan giants down if they come calling.
