Mignolet still searching for Liverpool exit despite Belgian links

Wantaway goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has reportedly been linked with a summer move to his home country Belgium, with two Pro League sides being linked with the player.

According to the Mirror, who cite claims from Het Laatste Nieuws, the 31-year-old keeper is being targeted by two clubs from the top division in Belgium, Club Brugge and Standard Liege.

However, the Mirror also writes that his wages would be a problem if he were to leave Anfield. The player is currently on a staggering £100,000 weekly wage, which could be a little too pricey for either of the side after his signature.

Mignolet has only played twice for the Reds in the 2018/19 campaign, both in cup games.

He is yet to play in the Premier League and Champions League this season and with Brazilian replacement Alisson Becker impressively marking up 20 clean sheets this season, a return to the starting XI seems unlikely for Mignolet.

Becker signed for Liverpool last summer from Roma and has outshone Mignolet ever since.

His hunt for first-team football may still go on due to his wages being so demanding; but if Mignolet wants to be playing regular football, they may be something he has to consider dropping.
