# Liverpool: Fabrizio Romano drops Divock Origi update

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) striker Divock Origi is preparing to leave Anfield this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.**

### The lowdown: Yet more heroics from Origi

The 27-year-old was once again the hero for the Reds on Sunday as Jurgen Klopp’s side overcame Everton 2-0 in the Merseyside derby, scoring once and playing a pivotal role in the build-up to Andy Robertson’s opening goal.

The Belgium marksman has developed a happy knack of turning up when he’s needed the most and now has [six derby goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/bilanz/spieler/148368) to add to a Champions League final strike and a stunning brace in an unforgettable 4-0 victory over Barcelona.

However, despite multiple iconic moments from the 27-year-old, it appears that the end could well be nigh for Origi at Anfield…

### The latest: Romano provides Origi latest

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1518376107300605953?s=20&t=BZWLpSLq1GyBvYevC5ovrw) to cite Klopp’s glowing words on the enigmatic Belgian, reputable journalist Romano confirmed that the [32-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/nationalmannschaft/spieler/148368/verein_id/3382) international is heading towards the exit door.

The reporter tweeted: ‘*Jurgen Klopp: “We will miss Divock Origi – if he leaves, he will explode wherever he goes. He is a world-class striker, he is a legend and will stay a legend forever”. #LFC*

*‘Origi will leave Liverpool in June – AC Milan are leading the race to sign him as free agent.*‘

### The verdict: Time to say goodbye

Liverpool have certainly gotten their money’s worth from the £10m spent when bringing Origi to the club from Lille in 2014 ([BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/28551650)). During his time on Merseyside, the Belgium striker has scored [41 goals and provided 17 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/148368) in 173 outings as a Red.

However, with the likes of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota all ahead of him in the [pecking order](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/ausfallzeiten/verein/31) and Takumi Minamino also [somewhat in the cold](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/ausfallzeiten/verein/31), it has become apparent that opportunities will be few and far between for the man once described as a [‘monster’](https://tbrfootball.com/a-monster-jurgen-klopp-praises-divock-origi-for-his-aerial-ability/) by Klopp following a last-gasp winner against Wolves in December.

Out of contract in July ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/profil/spieler/148368)), so far this season Origi has netted [six times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/leistungsdaten/spieler/148368) in 16 appearances across all competitions, and his latest derby exploits would suggest that should AC Milan indeed be the benefactors, the Serie A outfit would be landing a big-game striker for nothing in transfer fees.
