Liverpool striker Divock Origi has emerged as a surprise target for Atletico Madrid.
The Champions League finalists are reportedly turning their attention to the Belgium international after seeing plans to lure Diego Costa back were quashed by Chelsea.
Origi rose to prominence during his first full season with the Reds, scoring five times in 16 Premier League outings as well as scoring in the club’s run to the Europa League final.
And the Bleacher Report claim that the 21-year-old’s performances have caught the eye of Diego Simeone, who is looking to fill the void left by Jackson Martinez’s January departure.
Jurgen Klopp, however, is understood to be unwilling to part easily with a player who has become a focal point during the formative months of his Anfield reign.
