# Liverpool: Dean Jones shares possible Divock Origi twist

**[Transfer insider](https://twitter.com/DeanJonesSoccer) Dean Jones believes there could be a shock twist on the future of [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) striker Divock Origi.**

### The lowdown: Italy bound?

The 27-year-old, who once again endeared himself to the Anfield faithful with another Merseyside derby goal on Sunday, is widely expected to leave the club in the summer when his [contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/profil/spieler/148368) expires.

Recently, reputable journalist James Pearce [admitted](https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1518485644795953153?s=20&t=Y_NVfLqmlqrwN6dvRwjtqA) that an amicable departure was imminent with Serie A giants AC Milan the favourites to sign the popular Belgian frontman, with some [reports](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-divock-origis-reds-exit-getting-closer/) even claiming an agreement will be found in Milan this week.

However, a fresh update has emerged claiming it’s not too late for all parties to perform a major U-turn…

### The latest: Jones makes claim

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88000134-liverpool-64-goal-icon-who-klopp-loves-could-make-shock-stay-at-anfield), Jones suggested there remains a possibility that Origi will still be plying his trade on Merseyside next season due to the ‘massive moments’ he produces.

“There’s loads of clubs that are a good potential fit for Origi, but I think it’s also going to depend on what he wants at this stage of his career.

“Whatever you say or think of him and whether he’s good enough to be in that Liverpool team, he has had some massive moments in a Liverpool shirt and he continues to have them.

“Jurgen Klopp absolutely loves him. If Klopp tells him he still has a role for him in that squad, I’d be surprised to see him leave*.”*

### The verdict: Time has come

Seemingly on the brink of an exit for a number of transfer windows now, the prospect of keeping Origi and in turn offering the [32-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/nationalmannschaft/spieler/148368/verein_id/3382) Belgium ace a new deal is surely out of the question.

Albeit a man of multiple memorable moments, not least against the [seven goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/bilanzdetails/spieler/148368/gegner/29) scored against cross-park rivals Everton, the striker who was hailed as [‘very unique’](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/12/05/pundits-praise-very-unique-liverpool-star-divock-origi/) by Jermaine Jenas has missed out on [five](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/leistungsdaten/spieler/148368) Premier League match-day squads entirely in 2022 alone, suggesting he is not even a major option off the bench.

Despite a noteworthy return of [nine direct goal contributions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/leistungsdaten/spieler/148368) in 16 fleeting outings this season and well-established cult hero status on the Kop, the best option now for all parties would be a move away this summer.
