Real Sociedad are lining up Divock Origi as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak, who may depart the club in the summer, as reported by El Gol Digital.

Is it time for Liverpool to part ways with Origi?
Liverpool rewarded the 25-year-old with a new long-term contract in 2019 following his Champions League heroics, a decision that appears somewhat regrettable considering his recent form.
