Jurgen Klopp confirms exit of Liverpool legend | OneFootball

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed during his Friday press conference that Divick Origi will leave the club this summer.

The Belgian’s contract expires at the end of the season and it has been known for some time that the 27-year-old would be leaving the club. However, no one tied to the club had confirmed as such, until now, as Klopp made it official when talking to the media on Friday ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Wolves this weekend.

When talking about Origi’s last game at Anfield, the German stated: “I expect Div to get a special reception. One of the most important players I ever had. He was and is a pure joy to work with. It’s not over yet but he deserves all the good thoughts we can generate for his future. He’ll be a success. Outstanding.”
