Barcelona interested in signing Liverpool forward Divock Origi?

Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing Liverpool forward Divock Origi as they attempt to bolster their attacking options.

The Belgian striker has struggled to nail down a place in Jurgen Klopp's starting XI, having made just four appearances for the club this season across all competitions.

The 26-year-old has only featured from the bench in the Premier League, although he does have two assists and a goal to his name this season.

Origi has only one year left on his current deal with the Reds, and Barcelona are looking at him as an option to strengthen their squad depth, according to SPORT.

The Spanish team did sign Sergio Aguero during the summer, but due to a calf injury the former Manchester City forward still has not made his debut for the club.

Barcelona lost both Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann during the recent transfer market, which is why they want another attacking option, and they are targeting players who have expiring contracts.
