Fabrizio Romano has confirmed on Twitter that Divock Origi is planning to leave Liverpool at the end of the season and already has an offer on the table from AC Milan.

Origi has cemented himself as a Liverpool legend having scored a number of the most important goals of the Jurgen Klopp era. Nevertheless, he has never been able to establish himself as a regular starter in the side.

He has not made a single start in the Premier League start this term. And with Luis Diaz joining the club in January, Origi has found himself even further down the Liverpool pecking order.

His contract expires at the end of the season. And Romano has now suggested that Origi will leave Liverpool in the summer. He also noted that the Belgian is attracting serious interest from Milan.

The journalist added that Milan are confident about getting a deal across the line…

Right time for Liverpool and Origi to part ways this summer

Origi has certainly ensured that he will go down in Liverpool folklore. He has scored massive goals in the semi-finals and final of the Champions League.

And if they go on to win the Premier League title this year, his late winner at Wolves back in December will be looked back upon as a key moment in the race.

It looks to be the best time for the two sides to part ways this summer. Origi is playing even less now. And at 26, he will not want to watch the best years of his career pass him by.

Jurgen Klopp has previously described him as an ‘incredible‘ player. And there will always be a lot of affection for Origi on Merseyside.

But joining Milan could be an exciting move for the striker. It is no surprise that it appears to be moving closer.
