The goalkeeper has left Liverpool to join Belgian side Club Brugge.
Medicals have since been completed, with Brugge taking to Twitter on Monday morning to confirm the move has been made official.
The BBC report that the fee paid for the player stands at €7m (£6.4m), with the potential for that to rise to €9m (£8.3m).
Brugge are currently on the quest to reach the group stages of the Champions League, so Mignolet still has a chance of playing at the highest level despite making the switch back to his homeland and a less illustrious domestic division.
Mignolet was the number one choice at Anfield for years, making over 200 appearances for the club in all competitions.
He then battled it out with Loris Karius for a starting spot, before deputising in 2018/19 for one of last summer’s star signings Alisson Becker.
A professional who never complained about his role at the club, he’s been an effective player for Liverpool over the years, even when it became clear he was not the right man to lead them forward between the sticks.
Cited by liverpoolfc.com as being a ‘key figure’ in the Anfield dressing room, Jurgen Klopp will now need to find new and effective back-up to Alisson who has similar a professionalism and attitude when it comes to not getting much match action.
Liverpool fans recognise it’s a pretty good move for all parties but some are still sad to see him go, believing he’s be an excellent servant to the club over the years.
