Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Divock Origi will leave Liverpool this summer.
The Belgian forward, a cult-hero amongst supporters, has been linked with a free transfer to AC Milan upon the expiration of his contract with the club.
Sunday’s Premier League finale with Wolves offers Liverpool fans one final time to bid farewell at Anfield, adding another layer to what looks like a potentially monumental day in the history of the club.
Should Klopp’s side overcome their opponents and Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard take points off of Manchester City, the German will lift his second Premier League title in two years.
Origi, who has been hailed as the “best finisher” at Anfield by his manager, has scored some of the most famous goals in Liverpool history, hitting memorable strikes against Everton, Barcelona and Tottenham over the years.
Ahead of his final Premier League game as a Liverpool player, Klopp hailed the 27-year-old as a “legend” and one of the “most important” players he’s ever coached.
“I expect Div to get a special reception or farewell. He is a Liverpool legend,” he said on Friday.
“He is one of the most important players I’ve ever had.
“He was and is a pure joy to work with. It’s not ever yet but he deserves all the good thoughts we can generate somehow for his future. Wherever he will go we will be successful.
“It will be hard. I remember so many things when I think about Div that are incredible. Goals, ups and downs. He is a Liverpool legend no doubt.”
