Liverpool will seek to sign a replacement for Simon Mignolet this week after the second-choice goalkeeper sealed a £6.4m move to Club Brugge.

The deal, which could rise up to £8.2m in bonuses, sees Mignolet return to his native Belgium having made just two appearances last year.

Liverpool were reluctant to let the 31-year-old go, believing him to be a model professional, but accepted that a switch to Brugge was in the player’s best interests.

Jurgen Klopp will now try to sign a new back-up ‘keeper before the close of the summer transfer window for English clubs on Thursday.

Adrian, the 32-year-old former West Ham goalkeeper, is a free agent and a potential replacement for Mignolet.

Currently, Liverpool’s only cover for first-choice Alisson is the 20-year-old Caoimhin Kelleher, a Republic of Ireland Under-21 international.

Andy Lonergan, the former Preston North End ‘keeper, trained with Klopp’s squad during pre-season but is not expected to be offered a full-time contract. Loris Karius remains on loan at Besiktas for a second season.

Karius, who is rebuilding his career after his calamitous performance in the 2018 Champions League final, moved to Turkey when Mignolet was denied a loan move to Napoli last summer.

The Belgian joined from Sunderland in 2013 under Klopp’s predecessor Brendan Rodgers and held down a regular first-team place for the following three seasons.
