Diaz has Liverpool perform U-turn on Origi, Minamino sales

Liverpool are prepared to sell Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi in the coming days.

The Athletic reports Porto attacker Luis Diaz's expected arrival at Anfield - as well as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's form and the emergence of Harvey Elliott and Kaide Gordon - is going to mean some fringe players will be moved on.

Offers will be considered for both Minamino and Origi in the coming days with plenty of interest in the pair across Europe.

Minamino has played a slightly bigger role in recent weeks with Salah and Mane at the Africa Cup of Nations but he has largely been a squad player in his two years at the club.

Origi, meanwhile, has cult hero status at Anfield after scoring a number of crucial goals in their run to becoming Premier League and Champions League winners in recent seasons under manager Jurgen Klopp.
