Italian side Atalanta are reportedly keen on trying to sign Divock Origi from Liverpool, as they could potentially be on the verge of Duvan Zapata.
The Reds have sprung a surprise at the end of this week as they look to complete a permanent transfer for Luis Diaz from FC Porto.
Certainly, it seems an eye-catching transfer but it makes you wonder what could happen to the likes of Origi.
According to Carl Markham, Atalanta could be a potential destination:
🚨 NEW: Atalanta are also understood to be considering striker Divock Origi, the scorer of five goals in 11 appearances, as a serious option should their Newcastle-linked Colombia international Duvan Zapata move to the Premier League. #awlive [@carlmarkham] pic.twitter.com/7QmXAzcRXP

Anfield Watch Verdict
Divock Origi is a player that will always have speculation around him whilst he is at Liverpool.
The Belgian forward is down the pecking order and this potential arrival of Diaz shunts him down further.
Whether an exit happens this month or not, though, remains to be seen.
