Jurgen Klopp confirms Divock Origi is leaving Liverpool and makes 'harsh' admission

Jurgen Klopp is confident Divock Origi will be given a "special reception" at Anfield on Sunday as he confirmed the departure of a player he regards a Liverpool legend.

Origi, who was originally signed from Lille in 2014 but then loaned back for a year, will leave when his contract expires in the summer with AC Milan clear favourites to snap up the striker on a free transfer.

The Belgium international has been restricted to just 175 appearances during his Liverpool career - of which only 68 have been as a starter - but many of his 41 goals in that time have been memorable, including six derby strikes against Everton, a brace in the Champions League semi-final comeback against Barcelona in 2019 and the clinching goal in the subsequent final against Tottenham Hotspur.
