Liverpool striker Divock Origi could be set for a move away from Merseyside after he emerged as an audacious transfer target for Spanish giants Atletico Madrid.
Reports in Liverpool indicate, the 21-year-old is on Diego Simeone’s back-up list should a move for Chelsea’s Diego Costa fail to succeed.
It is believed that Origi possess the attributes to suit Simeone’s all-action playing style and would be a perfect replacement should the Spanish side be unable to prize their main target away from Stamford Bridge.
New Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has insisted that Costa will remain a Blues player, causing Simone to look at other options.
Origi impressed last season when given the opportunity, with only three players scoring more than his ten goals in all competitions. He made just 15 starts, compared with 19 for Daniel Sturridge, 38 for Philippe Coutinho and 40 for Roberto Firmino.
