Nottingham Forest are willing to offload striker Divock Origi just six months after signing the Liverpool cult hero, talkSPORT understands.

The 28-year-old only returned to the Premier League last summer after joining on loan from AC Milan on deadline day.

Forest have the option of turning his temporary stay into a permanent switch.

But the Reds are unlikely to activate their buy option, and could part ways with the Belgium international in January.

Origi has started only two Premier League games, and has failed to score in any of his nine top-flight appearances.

It is believed that Origi, who scored in Liverpool's 2019 Champions League final victory over Tottenham, is attracting interest from the MLS.

The former Lille star arrived at the San Siro on a free transfer in July 2022 after his contract expired at Anfield.

Signed on a four-year deal, Origi flattered to deceive in his opening campaign in Italy having scored just twice in 27 Serie A matches.

Meanwhile, Forest are also open to offers for midfielder Orel Mangala after being charged with breaching Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules earlier this week.
