Liverpool will demand a fee in excess of £20million for striker Divock Origi in January.

The Reds are prepared to sell the Belgium international, who has failed to force his way into Jurgen Klopp's plans so far this season.

Origi has yet to make a matchday squad since his return to the club this summer following a loan spell at Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg.

Liverpool expect Wolves to make another attempt to secure Origi's services during the winter window. The Premier League new boys were prepared to pay £22million plus add-ons back in July but the 23-year-old frontman wasn't keen on moving to Molineux.

It remains to be seen whether his lack of game time for Liverpool will lead to him reassessing that option.

Everton, who are in need of greater firepower, are also understood to be considering a move for Origi, but they have yet to make any official contact with the Reds.

The last player sold by Liverpool to the Blues was Gary Ablett back in 1992.

Origi was the subject of interest from Borussia Dortmund in August but they wanted a loan deal when Liverpool would only sanction a permanent transfer.

With no suitable offer forthcoming, Jurgen Klopp opted to keep Origi as cover for Roberto Firmino, Daniel Sturridge and Dominic Solanke.

Origi, whose contract runs until 2020, has scored 21 goals in 77 appearances for Liverpool, but his future increasingly looks like being away from Anfield.
