Liverpool’s Simon Mignolet suggests he could leave Anfield in the summer.
Simon Mignolet has hinted to The Echo that he could leave Liverpool this summer after suggesting that he doesn’t want to spend the twilight of his career on the bench.
Mignolet, who earns £60,000 per week at Anfield [Total Sportek], has played second fiddle to Brazil goalkeeper Alisson this season following his arrival from Roma.
This has limited the 30-year-old Belgian to just two appearances all season – one in the League Cup and another in the FA Cup.
The former Sunderland star was linked with a move away from Liverpool last summer, but Jurgen Klopp elected to offload Loris Karius instead [The Mirror], following the German’s high-profile errors.
But Mignolet, whose contract expires in 2021, has suggested that he will re-evaulate his future during the off-season.
“I’ve said before that I don’t want to be sat on the bench,” he told The Echo. “I’ll be 31 in March. Of course I want to play but in certain circumstances you have to accept the situation you are in.
“Definitely, nothing will happen this month and we will see what happens in the summer. Hopefully it will be a story for after we have won the Premier League and the Champions League.”
Very few Liverpool fans will care if Mignolet quits Merseyside in the summer.
He hasn’t been a roaring success since joining the Reds nearly six years ago, so much so that Karius spent most of last season ahead of him in Klopp’s pecking order.
