The Swede is set to be out for many months with a fractured fibula, meaning they are even lighter on attacking options than before.Many supporters believe that a replacement is needed in this case, even if it is a short-term one, and they have a pretty hilarious, but heartwarming, option in mind.Liverpool fans want Divock Origi back Liverpool have had a number of quality strikers in their time, but not many are held in such high regard as Divock Origi.He is certainly not the most talented that they have had, but his knack for scoring important goals means he has cemented himself as a bit of a cult hero.He has just agreed a contract termination with AC Milan too to make him a free agent for January, and Reds fans have taken to social media to urge the club to re-sign him.One supporter simply wrote: “Bring him home,” before tagging Liverpool’s account, while another added: “Back to Anfield for one last dance?”A third wrote: “With Isak being injured it makes perfect sense to be honest, we need a stop gap striker to get us to the end of the season, and we’d be getting him for basically free.”With Isak being injured it makes perfect sense tbh, we need a stop gap striker to get us to the end of the season, and we'd be getting him for basically free— عقاب (@qx11667477) December 23, 2025 View Tweet A fourth added: “Could still pull a shock move, back to Liverpool perhaps?” with another writing: “One last dance Divock Origi!”A sixth thinks he might be the man they have been missing, saying: “Liverpool, bring this lucky charm back home,” while a seventh said: “Get him back again for short term, we need a backup striker!”A final fan summed it up nicely with Liverpool’s famous Origi quote, saying: “Football without Origi is nothing.” Liverpool’s absentee list is starting to pile up, but who will be the biggest miss against Wolves?

Use the comment button on the bottom left to have your say Divock Origi to Liverpool will never happenSorry Liverpool fans, but as much as everyone loves the idea of this happening, it will have to remain just a dream.The Belgian has been out of the AC Milan squad since the summer of 2024, with his last game coming in April of the same year.Now 30, he is likely not even fit enough due to the amount of time he has spent out to make an instant impact, meaning he would not be a very good short-term option anyway.If Jurgen Klopp was in charge, the chances of him returning might have been slightly higher, but now, this move is almost as impossible as it gets.
