Report – Simon Mignolet wanted by Barcelona


The Spanish champions Barcelona have allegedly earmarked Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet as their top summer transfer targets, according to Marca as quoted by The Sun.

With the arrival of Alisson Becker this week, it is likely to push Mignolet further down the pecking order, leaving the Belgian surplus to requirements at Anfield.

The Catalans, meanwhile, have set their sights on a new shot-stopper to challenge Marc-Andre ter Stegen for the number one jersey at Camp Nou.

The report goes on to claim that Barca are targeting fellow Belgian stopper Koen Casteels, Swiss international Yann Sommer, Geronimo Rulli, and Marko Dmitrovic.

Mignolet, 30, joined The Reds in 2013 from Sunderland and has racked up 200 appearances over the last five seasons at the Merseyside outfit.
