Napoli set to make an approach for Simon Mignolet

Napoli are set to make an approach for Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, according to a report from Simon Jones of The Mail.

The Belgian international is keen to secure a move away from Liverpool after the arrival of Alisson.

However, Napoli have already brought in two goalkeepers Orestis Karnezis, from Udinese and £32m Alex Meret from SPAL so if Mignolet is looking for first-team football, he’s unlikely to join Carlo Ancelotti’s side unless he was assured a starting role.

Although the Premier League transfer window closes on Thursday afternoon, other clubs across Europe will be able to sign players until the end of August so there is no rush for Mignolet to secure a move.

The 30-year-old was linked with moves to Barcelona and Besiktas in recent weeks but it seems like he wants to go somewhere to be a starter, not a back up option.
