Latest Liverpool transfer news: Simon Mignolet unsure about what future holds for him at Liverpool

Belgian goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has spoken about his future at Liverpool after a tough season sitting behind Alisson.

The Brazilian joined the Reds for a then world-record fee and displaced Loris Karius as the No.1. The German keeper was allowed to join Besiktas on loan, however, Mignolet became the back-up for Alisson this season.

The Belgian hasn’t played any minutes in the Premier League and told TV Limburg (h/t Express) that an exit can’t be confirmed at the moment:

“This season, it was something quite easy to accept, but, obviously, I’d like to play. That’s why I keep working every day and try to keep on going on this path.

“I don’t know if an exit is possible this summer, I still have two years left on my contract. For now, I’m focused on Liverpool and Belgium games. We’ll see later.”

Mignolet being incredibly professional at Liverpool

The Belgian hasn’t thrown major tantrums regarding his lack of playing time, and has always given it his all in the training sessions.

Mignolet needs more first-team minutes, as any professional footballer would want, and it will be an interesting summer with regards to our goalkeepers.

Karius is having a torrid time in Turkey while we need to have a decent No.2 should Alisson pick up an injury in the campaign.

The Reds also have some quality youngster coming through, and hopefully, we make the right decision on who will be our No.2 next season.
