With Sergio Aguero yet to make his Barcelona debut and recent signing from Sevilla Luuk De Jong less than impressive, the Catalans are desperate to add some attacking talent to their team.But this isn’t the Barca of old, where they would just identify the best and the most expensive player and simply power through until the needed signature was secured. In 2021, they need to take it easy and make wise acquisitions – on a tight budget! And so, they are after Liverpool’s out of favour attacker Divock Origi.Friday, 21.45: (15.0) Cyprus (6.25) Croatia (1.25)Despite many reports linking Origi to a move away from Anfield in the past year, the Belgium international is still a member of Jurgen Klopp’s squad – although the German coach isn’t relying heavily on the Reds’ 2019 Champions League hero.Origi, who has fallen in Klopp’s pecking order at Liverpool, especially after the arrival of Diogo Jota last year, has just one year left on his current contract. In the 2021/22 campaign, Origi has made four appearances for Liverpool, across all competition but that includes only two minutes in the Premier League.🚨 NEW: Barcelona are considering a move for Divock Origi. The Catalans will have £12m-£21m to spend on a striker and could target Origi in the New Year. #awlive [sport] pic.twitter.com/u2BULYrdLs— Anfield Watch (@AnfieldWatch) October 5, 2021 The Belgian forward started Liverpool’s Champions League match against AC Milan, where he provided an assist in his side’s 3-2 victory. Origi also featured in Liverpool’s starting line-up for their League Cup clash with Norwich. The 26-year-old forward played the full 90 minutes as he scored a goal and provided an assist.Barcelona are currently ninth in La Liga standings, are struck by financial problems and are burdened by injuries to many of their players. To them, a fit and hungry Divock Origi would look like a jackpot win!
