Napoli are considering a late approach for Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.

The 30-year-old Belgium international is open to leaving Anfield and has had interest from Besiktas and Barcelona.

Liverpool have already sold Danny Ward to Leicester City but Mignolet is still behind Alisson and Loris Karius.

Simon Mignolet has dropped to third choice at Liverpool following Alisson's arrival

Napoli have discussed a number of options over the past 24 hours including Arsenal's David Ospina and Guillermo Ochoa of Standard Liege.

Last season's Italian runners-up have already recruited two goalkeepers this summer to replace Pepe Reina, who left for AC Milan on a free, and Raphael who was released by the club.

Orestis Karnezis, who was on loan at Watford last season, has been drafted in from Udinese, while 21-year-old Alex Meret arrived from SPAL for £32million.

Mignolet started last season as Jurgen Klopp's first choice but eventually lost his place

But Napoli are still looking to strengthen between the sticks and Mignolet is a target.

Time is still on their side in regards to concluding a deal as the deadline for Serie A clubs to sign players is not until the end of month along with the rest of Europe's big leagues.

With Liverpool also having able cover for Alisson, they too would not rule out selling after Thursday's Premier League deadline.

Mignolet started last season as Liverpool's No 1 but lost his place in the second half of the campaign and has played just once for the Reds since New Year's Day.
