Liverpool transfer news: Jurgen Klopp told to sell Divock Origi
LIVERPOOL should allow Divock Origi to leave the club before the transfer window shuts on August 9.
That is according to former West Ham goalkeeper turned ESPN FC pundit Shaka Hislop.
Origi spent the whole of last season on loan at Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.
He failed to set the world alight in Germany though, scoring just six goals in 34 appearances in all competitions.
Liverpool are reportedly only interested in letting Origi leave on a permanent deal.
I think it makes sense for the player, makes sense for both clubs
And when asked about a possible move to Besiktas, Hislop said it would make perfect sense.
“Understandably Liverpool want money, it’s always better for them financially," he said.
“But the truth is, I don’t think there’s a huge market for Divock Origi.
“I think it makes sense for the player, makes sense for both clubs.

“Maybe they can have a clause in there that it becomes permanent, whatever. They’ll figure out the fine print later on.
“But in terms of the transfer, it makes sense.”
Origi joined Liverpool from French outfit Lille in 2014.
He has scored 21 goals for the Reds in 77 appearances.
The 25-year-old has 25 caps for Belgium, the last of which came in 2017.
