Jurgen Klopp is trying to convince Divock Origi to stay at Liverpool by assuring the Belgian striker that he will get his chance to impress at the start of next season.
With Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane away at the Africa Cup of Nations, and Roberto Firmino representing Brazil at the Copa America this summer, Liverpool's dynamic trio are expected to be handled with care upon their return to pre-season training at Melwood. This would leave the door open for Origi to make his mark in the opening weeks of the campaign.
Origi's current deal is set to expire next summer, but Football Insider report that Klopp recently held talks with Origi whilst the forward was on holiday, and the club remain hopeful that he will sign a new five-year deal, which also includes a significant pay rise.
