Liverpool FC transfer news: Brugge interested in Mignolet

Belgian club Club Brugge are interested in Simon Mignolet, according to RMC (h/t Liverpool Echo).

The Liverpool No.2 was ever-present in goal during the pre-season but has seen limited playing time since Alisson’s arrival.

The Brazilian won three Golden Gloves last season and was the Man of the Match in the Champions League final win over Tottenham.

It is difficult to see Mignolet get regular starts next season, but we should see more of him due to Liverpool’s participation in seven competitions.

Reds unwilling to let Mignolet leave

The Liverpool Echo adds that the Reds are unlikely to allow the Belgian to leave in this transfer window.

Jurgen Klopp has often commented on Mignolet being a wonderful member of the team and the 31-year-old is a great professional.

The Reds don’t have other back-ups to Alisson at the moment and have sent Kamil Grabara to Championship side Huddersfield on loan.

Simon Mignolet in action

Caoimhin Kelleher picked up an injury during the pre-season and it would be a major surprise if Liverpool did allow Mignolet to join Brugge.

The Belgian could move to any team in one of Europe’s top leagues, and it will be interesting to see how many games he does get under his belt this season.
