Virals: Serie A trio 'probing' for Liverpool striker Divock Origi

Liverpool striker Divock Origi is reportedly on the radar at a trio of Serie A clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.

The 26-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and is expected to move on to pastures new regardless of whether a new deal clause can be triggered.

AC Milan Atalanta and Napoli are all believed to be interested in the lesser-seen Belgian international and could make a move at the end of the season.

That’s according to a report from PiannetaMilan, as cited on Twitter.

The report claims that AC boss Stefano Pioli ‘likes’ the 31-cap Belgium ace having scored and assisted against the Rossoneri in the UEFA Champions League.

This season Origi has scored five times and provided two assists overall in 11 fleeting appearances across all competitions.

Despite a continued influence from the bench, it would appear that the end is nigh for the Belgian on Merseyside.

Liverpool would likely prefer to recoup some funds on the £10.8million valued ace and therefore a one-year extension prior to a sale would come as no surprise.

Whatever happens, Origi will leave with a legacy as an Anfield cult hero firmly intact.
