Liverpool forward Divock Origi reportedly has little intention of departing Anfield during the next transfer window.
While the versatile attacker made pivotal contributions during Liverpool's Champions-League-winning campaign, the Belgium international has remained as backup to Jurgen Klopp's front three.
Origi has made just seven starts and 26 substitute outings in the Premier League and Europe this season, contributing three goals and one assist.
However, despite his bit-part role, Het Laatste Nieuws says that the 25-year-old is happy with life at his current club.
At a time when he still has four years left on his contract, the report says that Origi is not actively seeking "an adventure" at another club.

Manchester City are reportedly in a position to sign Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly in a deal worth £65m.
While the centre-back is regarded as a key man at the Serie A outfit, speculation persists regarding an eventual switch to the Premier League.
Although City have previously been linked with a £72m bid for the Senegal international, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has insisted that he has no intention of allowing the player leave for a cut-price fee.
However, according to The Mirror, City officials have been informed that £65m may be enough to bring the 29-year-old to the Etihad Stadium.
Having witnessed his side lose the top-flight crown to Liverpool, Pep Guardiola is prioritising a high-profile addition to his backline.
City are believed to be ahead of the Merseyside giants in the race for Koulibaly's signature.
