Divock Origi could make his final Liverpool appearance in the Champions League final clash with Real Madrid ahead of completing a move to Serie A leaders AC Milan, as reported by Calciomercato....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
And who would bet against Jurgen Klopp’s man for the big occasion stepping off the bench in Paris before powering a trademark Trent Alexander-Arnold cross past Thibaut Courtois with 89 minutes on the clock?
If Divock Origi was a movie star, he’d be the guy who saves the day, stopping the bomb with one second remaining. That’s just what he does. He saves the day. Usually in the most dramatic way possible.
Not the biggest name in Liverpool’s squad, not the most gifted either but – whether against Everton, Newcastle United, Barcelona or Tottenham – his track record when it comes to popping up exactly when Klopp needs him the most is nothing short of remarkable.

Divock Origi leaving Liverpool for AC Milan
According to Calciomercato, Origi will undergo a medical with Serie A winners-in-waiting AC Milan in the days following Liverpool’s reunion with Real Madrid in the French capital.
The former Wolves target has already agreed a four-year deal at the San Siro, worth in the region of £65,000-a-week.

“He’s a fantastic footballer for me. And I know it sounds ridiculous because I don’t (pick) him often, he’s our best finisher. Really.”
A Liverpool legend
It will be intriguing to see if Origi can extrapolate his remarkable goals-per-game ratio at a Milan side likely to hand him a far more central role. Can this multi-award winning supporting actor carry the show as the main man?
