# Liverpool: Fans react as Divock Origi offered in swap deal for Ozan Kabak

**Many Liverpool fans have been reacting to news that striker Divock Origi is to be offered in a swap deal for Schalke defender Ozan Kabak.**

The 20-year-old centre-back has earned plenty of plaudits for his performances in the Bundesliga and his maturity at such a young age was called “astonishing” by Stuttgart sporting director Thomas Hitzelsperger during his time at Die Roten (cited by [talkSPORT](https://talksport.com/football/552585/ozan-kabak-arsenal-manchester-united-stuttgart-transfer-sergio-ramos-virgil-van-dijk/)).

[Sky Germany](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9078869/Liverpool-Schalke-discuss-potential-swap-deal-involving-Divock-Origi-Ozan-Kabak.html) (via [Anfield Edition](https://twitter.com/AnfieldEdition/status/1341141197348331522)) reported that the Reds have contacted Schalke over sending Origi the other way in exchange for Kabak.

The Kop faithful have [heavily criticised](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-fans-applaud-jurgen-klopp-for-shouting-at-divock-origi/) the Belgian of late, with some suggesting that his time at the club has come to an end.

With Liverpool’s current injury crisis in the defensive department, supporters would welcome offloading the 25-year-old in exchange for Kabak.
