Liverpool Goalkeeper Could Be Close To Ending Anfield Nightmare With Switch To Serie A Giants

Liverpool Goalkeeper Could Be Close To Ending Anfield Nightmare With Switch To Serie A Giants
08:44, 15 Aug 2018

Simon Mignolet could leave Liverpool and sign for Napoli this week.

The Daily Mirror are reporting today that the Belgian stopper is close to moving to Italy having slipped down the pecking order at Anfield in recent months.

The arrival of Alisson has seen the 30-year-old become the third choice goalkeeper at the club and a move to Serie A is now on the cards according to this latest story.

The former Sunderland goalkeeper was signed by Brendan Rodgers in 2013 but after a strong start to his career on Merseyside, he has fallen down the order since the arrival of Jurgen Klopp.

Mignolet was back in the team at the start of last season but was replaced by Loris Karius on a permanent basis for the second half of the campaign and it now appears as if his time in England is over.

A move to Napoli would surely be appealing for the Belgian World Cup squad member with the Partenopei once again aiming to run Juventus close in the Scudetto race. Carlo Ancelotti has replaced Maurizio Sarri at the San Paolo for this term and the former Chelsea Manager is clearly in the market for a new man between the sticks following the departure of Pepe Reina to Milan and the injury to Alex Meret.

In a move that could suit all parties, Jurgen Klopp is clearly happy to see the back of Mignolet with Loris Karius set to remain as the understudy to Alisson in the Liverpool squad and Mignolet desperately looking for regular game time during the peak years of his career.
