Liverpool are going to have to chop and change the squad an enormous amount this summer. The Reds have to get back to the top of the league and it’s going to take a sweeping overhaul of the backup brigade to do that. Real Sociedad reportedly want Divock Origi, Liverpool should ask for Alexander Isak in return.
Backup overhaul
It’s time to move on the fringe players.
Look at Man City, their bench could finish top four – it would at least win the French top flight.
The Reds can’t have another season like the one we’ve had, one where the lack of squad depth costs us so dearly.
The summer has to be all about moving on our lesser quality backup stars and replacing them with players who can step up to the plate when needed.
Time and again our super sub has proved that he can only score if it is the biggest game in the world and that isn’t what we need, Origi has to go.
Real Sociedad want Divock Origi
There are bound to be plenty of suitors for the man who scores on the big occasion.
According to El Gol Digital, Real Sociedad want Divock Origi.
The Spanish side will likely have to put in a substantial offer given how long is left on the Belgian’s contract.
The report states that the La Liga club want the forward to replace Alexander Isak with the higher ups not confident of keeping the Swedish striker.
Liverpool should strike Alexander Isak deal
If Sociedad want Origi because they expect to lose their star striker then this opens up a door for the Reds.
Liverpool should try and strike a deal for Alexander Isak using Origi as a makeweight.
The 21-year-old Swedish striker is bound to have his admirers this summer with 12 goals in the Spanish top flight this term.
He could be an ideal backup striker for next season, at his age he will only get better and he could eventually be our star man through the middle.
