Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has handed Divock Origi only one start in all competitions this season and that was during the Reds’ EFL Cup win over Lincoln City last September.
In need of game time, the striker has been linked with several clubs across Europe.
From Germany, Schalke were named as a suitor last month, while Eintracht Frankfurt view the 27-year-old as an option for January. RB Leipzig have now become the latest club to be added to that list.
This week’s edition of SportBild explains Julian Nagelsmann must be given a new attacker to help his side challenge Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen in the title race.
Leipzig are third in the table with 32 points, level on points with second place Bayer Leverkusen and four points behind leaders Bayern.
Summer signings Alexander Sørloth and Hwang Hee-chan haven’t convinced so far and hence, it would make sense to sign a new striker on a loan deal.
Should Leipzig decide to sign a player on a ‘lightning loan’ deal in January, they have some players identified and that includes Origi. That’s the only information about the Liverpool player mentioned in the report.
