# Liverpool: Fans are divided over update on Divock Origi’s future at the club

**Divock Origi has been tipped to remain at Liverpool this summer, with a replacement viewed as something of a high expense.**

[Kevin Palmer has given his verdict](https://twitter.com/AnfieldEdition/status/1292836127997595650) on the Belgian’s position at the the Merseyside outfit and feels he’s unlikely to be going anywhere this transfer window.

The Sunday World reporter has described Origi as a good back-up for Liverpool’s attack and thinks it would be ‘expensive’ to replace him should they sell up. However, the Reds may be swayed if a big money offer comes in for his services, but this seems unlikely given the current financial climate.

The 25-year-old initially joined Liverpool in 2014 for £10million from Lille (via [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/28551650)). Although he has been second favourite to Roberto Firmino, Origi has established himself as a cult hero across the fanbase for his contributions in Liverpool’s sixth Champions League title glory.

A lot of fans are divided over this take though as they have split opinions on whether Origi is indeed a good back up. One supporter has tweeted that they’re going to be ‘very disappointed’ next season when the [£14.4million-valued man](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/profil/spieler/148368) is their only senior substitute up front.

However, another Kopite thinks ‘we need his luck’ when it comes to big games like Liverpool’s phenomenal [comeback against Barcelona.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48179167)
