Borussia Dortmund set to hijack Origi’s move to Liverpool

Liverpool look set for a transfer tussle with German giants Borussia Dortmund as they have entered the running for Lille forward Divock Origi. Origi who has been on World Cup duty with Belgium in Brazil could opt to join Dortmund ahead of Liverpool, however Rodgers hopes that by agreeing to loan the forward back to Lille for next season will persuade Origi to head for Anfield.

However both sides are looking to tie up the ÂŁ11 million signing of the promising Belgian forward. Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp has already invested heavily in his forward line this summer with the signing of Ciro Immobile from Torino and Adrian Ramos from Hertha Berlin. But he seems to be after a forward with pace and hopes Origi preferes a move to Germany over England.

Dortmunds need for forwards comes after Robert Lewandowski signed a pre contract agreement with Bundesliga heavyweights Bayer Munich leaving Jurgen Klopp with reduced options upfront for the new campaign. However the former Mainz boss has adressed this by signing Immobile and Ramos.

If Origi were to plump for a move to Dortmund then Spurs and Newcastle would be put on red alert as the future of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be up in the air, with Dortmund possibly willing to sell the forward if they can secure Origi’s signature.
