Simon Mignolet looks set to leave Liverpool with Premier League duo Watford and Norwich City reportedly interested.
Norwich City and Watford are interested in signing Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet according to the Mail (19 May, page 55), although the Reds want £15 million for their long-serving bench-warmer.
The Belgian international moved to Anfield six years ago from Sunderland, after Brendan Rodgers parted with £9 million. And Mignolet was Liverpool’s number one for a number of seasons, albeit failing to really convince on a regular basis, before Jurgen Klopp broke the bank to snap up Brazil number one Alisson Becker last summer.
Alisson has shone in his debut season with Mignolet failing to make a single Premier League appearance as Liverpool finished second in the table behind Manchester City.
And it seems that the 31-year-old’s career at Anfield is all but over with Liverpool willing to sell.
Norwich, who were promoted to the Premier League last month, seemingly see Mignolet as a potential upgrade on Tim Krul. Watford, meanwhile, will need to replace veteran Heurelho Gomes with the Brazilian expected to retire after Saturday’s 6-0 FA Cup final defeat to Manchester City.
It remains to be seen, however, whether Norwich or Watford are willing to meet Liverpool’s £15 million price-tag.
