Only one obstacle left as ‘handshake’ given for exit of Liverpool icon

Liverpool striker Divock Origi is closing in on a summer transfer to Serie A outfit AC Milan, according to reports in Italy.

The arrival and excellent start to life in the Premier League for Luis Diaz has pushed Liverpool on in their bid for trophies this season.

Jurgen Klopp now has an abundance of attacking talent to choose from, but the Colombian’s arrival has forced Origi further down the pecking order at Anfield.

The Belgium international, who is out of contract in the summer, has still managed to provide five goals and two assists from his 14 appearances across all competitions this season.

Origi is held in high regard by Liverpool supporters as he scored in the 2018/19 Champions League final against Tottenham, with the Reds going on to win 2-0 to lift the trophy for the sixth time in their history.
