Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Liverpool forward Divock Origi will leave the club on a free transfer and has also said other players like Bayern Munich target Sadio Mane could also leave if they want and if the club receives suitable offers for them.
Origi whose contract expires at the end of the season will leave the club on a free transfer and is reported to have a deal agreed with Serie A side AC Milan.
Starting opportunities have been limited for the Belgian over the years and the winter acquisition of Luis Diaz has further compounded issues.
Origi has hence decided to move on in search of more playing time and has been convinced to swap Merseyside for Milan in order to get it.
“I expect Div to get a special farewell. For me, he will always be a Liverpool legend and it has been a joy to work with him,” Klopp said.
“He’s one of the most important players I ever had. Wherever he will go he will be successful, 100 per cent.
