Origi is unlikely to feature for Liverpool next season if he does end up staying and has also been linked with Valencia and Watford.
Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg loaned him last season where he scored seven goals in 24 starts.
In total Origi has scored 12 goals in 51 appearances for Liverpool but has fallen behind Roberto Firmino, Daniel Sturridge and Dominic Solanke in the pecking order.
