Liverpool agrees Mignolet fee

Liverpool have agreed a fee with Sunderland for the transfer of Simon Mignolet. The Belgian international keeper will transfer to Anfield in a deal worth approximately £9 million.

There remains some uncertainty about the long term future of current number 1 Pep Reina, who has been linked with a move to his former club Barcelona.


Mignolet - who was awarded Sunderland's player of the season trophy last season - is expected on Anfield for talks this week.


Sunderland are now on the look out for a new number 1 themselves, with Wigan keeper Ali Habsi a reported target.
