Divock Origi has been promised a 'bigger role' with Liverpool next season, as talks continue over a contract extension, according to Belgian journalist Kristor Terreur.
Despite being largely a backup player for Liverpool under Klopp, Origi played a major role in Liverpool claiming their sixth European Cup in 2019, scoring twice against Barcelona in the semi-finals, before netting a late goal to seal a 2-0 win over Tottenham in the final.
There have been talks of a new contract for some time, with Jurgen Klopp keen to keep the 24-year-old, whose current contract expires next June.

"He has been promised a bigger role next season now [Daniel] Sturridge has left. They've offered him good money. I think he will sign a new deal for four or five years", said Terreur on the Sky Sports Transfer Talk podcast.
