Divock Origi has already been linked with a move away from Liverpool this month.

Earlier in January, there was speculation about Wolverhampton Wanderers bringing the out-of-favour Belgian striker to Molineux.

But it was later reported that Wolves were no longer interested in Origi.

However, there may be a new party keen on the former Lille hitman.

According to Corriere Dello Sport in Italy, the Liverpool attacker is on Inter Milan’s radar.

The report adds that it would be a loan move and that the Premier League champions are willing to sanction it.

In 2019, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp referred to Origi as an ‘unbelievably important’ player [The Echo] but this importance has undoubtedly declined since then.

For context, the German manager has only given the player 12 minutes of Premier League football this season – and five of them came against Manchester United in Sunday’s 0-0 draw at Anfield.

There is virtually no place for him on Merseyside any longer and once Diogo Jota is fit and firing again, there’s a chance his playing time could bizarrely suffer even more.
