The Belgium international wants regular first-team football however Liverppol are adamant that Mignolet will atay and be deputy to the Alisson.

The 30-year-old reiterated at the weekend that he wanted to move and insisted Loris Karius’s loan to Besiktas – a transfer he described as “bizarre” – had not altered his position at Liverpool. 

When questioned about Karius' loan switch the former Sunderland goalkeeper told the press: "I find it bizarre that Karius was loaned while I also had options to be loaned. But for some reason that was not possible. A goalkeeper who was preferred to me last year may leave on a loan basis. Strange."

Mignolet wants minutes, however the club need to keep him at Anfield as back upfor Alisson. Mignolet also revealed to the 'Guardian':

“Being No 2 or No 3 makes little difference. Playing minutes is the most important thing. Nobody has said anything to me after the departure of Loris. So I don’t know what my future at Liverpool is. We will see what happens this week.”

It is rumoured that Mignolet will try and force his way out of the club this week, however with Karius' departure and Danny Ward's sale to Leicester City this may be out of the question.
