Liverpool transfer rumours: Origi departs as a Liverpool legend

Wrapping up the Liverpool transfer news, rumours and gossip in the 2022 summer window.

Jurgen Klopp says Divock Origi departs as a Liverpool legend after earning cult-hero status since joining Liverpool in 2015 with a string of iconic goals, most notably his comeback-sealing double against Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals and his stoppage-time winner against Everton in 2019.

"For me, he will always be a Liverpool legend and it has been a joy to work with him," Klopp said, with Origi reportedly set to sign for AC Milan.

"He's one of the most important players I ever had. Wherever he will go he will be successful, 100 per cent.

"It will be a hard moment when he leaves. He is a Liverpool legend, no doubt."

On other potential outgoings, Klopp added: "I don't want to see anyone leave but that's life. No-one has come to me and said they want to leave. It's not the time for that now.

"What happened this year is possible because of the group; world-class players. Kids played their part which was nice too.

"I have no idea who wants to go at the moment but if someone comes to me and says they have a club they want to join we will speak to the club with an offer."
