Liverpool agree to sell back-up keeper Simon Mignolet to Club Brugge in £6m transfer

SIMON MIGNOLET'S six-year stint at Liverpool has come to an end after signing for Club Brugge.

The 31-year-old headed back to his home country after the Reds accepted a £6million offer for his signature.

A video posted on Brugge's official Facebook page shows the keeper already at the club to complete his transfer.

He jetted straight from the Community Shield final to Brugge to put pen-to-paper on a contract ahead of a medical tomorrow.

Mignolet was seeking a way out of Anfield in search of first-team football this summer.

The former Sunderland keeper was an unused substitute in the penalty defeat and now Jurgen Klopp will push hard to land a new No2 before the start of the new season.

Mignolet was given an opportunity to impress in pre-season but had a howler in the 2-2 draw with Sporting Lisbon.

A mistake straight out of the Loris Karius school of goalkeeping, the Reds' second choice stopper allowed Bruno Fernandes' long range effort to bounce past him just four minutes into the pre-season contest.

Liverpool were initially holding out for around £15million following Premier League interest from Crystal Palace. 

But with Thursday deadline fast approaching, Klopp was keen to allow the keeper to leave for a cut-price fee.
