Liverpool are actively discussing what to do with Divock Origi this month.

Sky Sports says the Belgium international, off contract in June, is rated at £10million and while selling the player now to avoid losing him for free may be an attractive option, Origi remains an important figure at Anfield.

Liverpool are without Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane at present due to the Africa Cup of Nations and once fit again, Origi will expect an increase in his minutes.

The 26-year-old has five goals in 10 games this season despite featuring for just 393 minutes, which is the equivalent of just over four full matches.

Three unnamed Italian clubs are said to have shown interest in Origi but he would prefer to remain in the Premier League.
