Real Betis are considering an offer for Divock Origi following the Belgian’s heroics during Liverpool’s Champions League campaign, according to reports in Spain.

The 24-year-old became a big-game specialist for Jurgen Klopp last season, scoring twice against Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final before netting in the final against Spurs.

Origi also netted important winning goals in narrow victories against Everton and Newcastle United and his form as an impact substitute last season has led to him being offered a new contract.

The former Lille frontman is entering the final 12-months of his deal at Anfield and could consider a move away this summer with Roberto Firmino firmly ahead of him in the pecking order.

One club keeping a particularly close eye on developments are Betis who reportedly believe they can sign him for a fee under £10m due to his current contractual situation.



Origi’s wages reportedly worth around £45,000 per week could prove a stumbling block for Betis, however. They finished 11th in La Liga last season.

Following his clinching goal during the 2-0 win over Spurs, Origi spoke out on his future, saying: ‘Over the next few weeks we’ll have some talks and I think I’ll have to sit down with my entourage and see how we can decide the future.’

Origi was deemed surplus to requirements by Klopp in 2017-18 and after a disappointing campaign on loan at Wolfsburg, his Liverpool career appeared to be over.

However, he enjoyed an unlikely renaissance last season, scoring seven goals in 20 appearances to earn a new contract offer, while his fellow striker Daniel Sturridge was released.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have been linked with a move for Real Betis’ left-back Junior Firpo who has a €50m release clause in his contract.
