On Wednesday, we covered claims that Lazio were taking an interest in Liverpool’s Divock Origi.
The Belgian is currently being used as a fancy backup by Jürgen Klopp at Anfield these days, bringing him on here and there, but rarely starting him.
Juventus were reportedly keeping an eye on him, and Lazio had joined them, but Corriere dello Sport make it clear that it likely won’t happen.
Despite the idea being ‘fascinating’, it’s also seen as ‘very complicated’, since the player earns far more than what the Serie A side can currently afford.
Furthermore, the fact the Liverpool man is out of contract in June means it’s ‘easy to hypothesise than other are ready to offer him bigger numbers’ for a free transfer.
That’s why the prospect of signing Origi has now ‘rebounded’ in Rome, with Maurizio Sarri and co. needing to focus elsewhere if they are to strengthen their attack either in January or in the summer.
