AC Milan legend Demetrio Albertini has called on his former club to sign Liverpool's Divock Origi.
While Origi has not been a regular under Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, he has frequently chipped in with important goals for the team.
The Belgium international scored a memorable goal against Everton in the 2018-19 Merseyside derby, as well as a brace against Barcelona and a strike against Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League semi-final and final respectively later that season.
While he's fallen even further down the pecking order following the arrival and excellent form of Diogo Jota, even this term Origi has contributed for the Reds.

He scored a dramatic late winner against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League and he was also on target as Klopp's side beat AC Milan in the Champions League.
Liverpool will be back at the San Siro for the knockout stages of the Champions League next month when they play Internazionale, although speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Football Italia ), Albertini said he'd like to see the 26-year-old in Milan on a regular basis.
"Milan need to look to strikers who are kept on the bench or even in the stands and don’t get much space at their current clubs, such as Origi at Liverpool," he said.
"He would score lots of goals in Serie A. You win a Scudetto thanks to hitmen, and that is a midfielder saying that."
Albertini spent 14 years with AC Milan, during which time the iconic midfielder won the Serie A title five times and the Champions League on three occasions.
Given Liverpool are set to be without key attackers in Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in the coming weeks due to their involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations, Origi could have an important role to play for Klopp.
The forward will have a big decision to make on his future at the end of the campaign, when his current deal is believed to run out.
