Liverpool to block Simon Mignolet exit until end of season?

Liverpool are reportedly not listening to any offers for goalkeeper Simon Mignolet as they need him to provide cover for the rest of the season.

The Belgium international has been used just twice in all competitions for the Reds since Alisson Becker arrived in a £67m deal last summer.

Despite the 30-year-old being keen on a move away, however, with unnamed clubs interested in snapping him up, ESPN reports that Liverpool will not entertain any bids this month.

Young keeper Kamil Grabara was sent on loan to AGF Aarhus two weeks ago, leaving just Mignolet - under contract until 2023 - and Caoimhin Kelleher to provide back-up to Alisson.

However, it is claimed that Liverpool will be more open to offloading the former Sunderland stopper in the summer once they have brought in a replacement.
