Liverpool are reported to have asked for £12 million for Mignolet.
Liverpool’s hopes of offloading Simon Mignolet appear to have been dented by Arsenal.
Mignolet has slipped to third in Liverpool’s order of goalkeepers – behind Alisson Becker and Loris Karius – prompting the Reds to make him available for a fee of £12 million, according to the Liverpool Echo.
And the Belgian’s agent last week claimed, via Radio Kiss Kiss, that his client was interested in a move to Napoli, after the Italian side showed interest.
But according to The Guardian, Napoli have turned to David Ospina instead – signing the Arsenal goalkeeper on an initial loan deal which includes an option to be made permanent (although, at the time of writing, this has yet to be confirmed by either Napoli or Arsenal).
Such a move would surely end the Partenopei’s Mignolet pursuit, leaving Liverpool with little over two weeks to find a buyer.
And with the English transfer window already shut and the Italian one to follow suit on Friday, the Reds are running out of potential destinations.
