Watford reportedly want Divock Origi of Liverpool.

Liverpool will only consider a permanent deal for Divock Origi and will not loan him out, according to Sky Sports, amid reported interest from Watford and Newcastle United.

According to The Chronicle, Newcastle are interested in signing Origi from Premier League rivals Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

The Mirror has claimed that Watford are considering making a loan move for the 23-year-old striker – who earns £28,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com.

According to Sky Sports, Liverpool will not entertain a loan offer for the youngster and will only sell the Belgium international striker this summer.

Good decision from Liverpool?

Origi has been on the books of Liverpool since the summer of 2014 when he joined from Lille for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £10 million.

The 23-year-old has failed to make an impact at Anfield so far, and it is hard to see the Belgium striker establish himself in manager Jurgen Klopp’s first team next season.

With Watford and Newcastle reportedly wanting Origi, it would make sense for Liverpool to sell the striker instead of sending him out on loan, as his current contract runs out next summer, according to Transfermarkt.com.
