The Liverpool goalkeeper has been linked with an exit from Anfield.

According to a report from the Mirror, Napoli are hoping to tie up a deal to sign Simon Mignolet from Liverpool within the next 48 hours, as Carlo Ancelotti looks to bolster his goalkeeping options at the Stadio San Paolo.

The Belgian joined the Reds from Sunderland in the summer of 2013, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £9 million, but he has proven to be a divisive character at Anfield.

Many fans and pundits have questioned whether the 30-year-old is good enough to play for Liverpool, after committing a succession of high-profile errors over the past two or three years.

Most Reds fans would surely not be too sad to see the back of Mignolet, and according to a report from the Mirror, they might just get their wish.
