Liverpool fans online bid an emotional farewell to Belgian forward Divock Origi as he officially leaves Anfield at the end of his contract.

The Reds put out a list on their website containing a list of players that will leave the club at the end of their respective contracts. These prominently included Loris Karius, Ben Woodburn and the aforementioned Divock Origi.

Divock Origi signed for Liverpool back in 2014 but arrived at Anfield in 2015. Despite never being a first-team regular during his time at the club, Origi always had the knack of scoring vital goals for the club.

The 27-year-old forward will always be remembered by fans for the contribution during the Reds' UEFA Champions League triumph in 2019. Origi scored two goals against FC Barcelona in the second leg of their semifinal tie which saw them beat the Blaugrana 4-3 on aggregate.

He would then score the winning goal in the Champions League final against Tottenham Hotspur to see Liverpool win their first trophy under Jurgen Klopp.

Divock Origi has also scored some crucial late goals for the club against the likes of Everton, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United.

Liverpool supporters on Twitter were understandably saddened to see their cult hero leave Anfield. Some have even labeled Origi as the club's most underrated player in recent times.

Here are some tweets in that regard:

Divock Origi has officially ended his time at Anfield after scoring 41 goals and providing 18 assists in 175 games across all competitions. The 27-year-old forward has managed to win every possible trophy available to him apart from the UEFA Europa League. Origi guided the Reds to the Champions League title in 2019 and the Premier League title a year later amongst other trophies.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Belgian forward is set to join Serie A champions AC Milan on a free transfer this summer.
