Barcelona have been linked with a shock move for Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet, according to Marca.

The Belgian arrived at Anfield ahead of the 2013-14, and a turbulent stay at Anfield has seen him replaced by Loris Karius in recent seasons.
With Karius’ own replacement by new £62 million arrival Alisson Becker, it seems Mignolet is truly set to leave the Reds this summer.

Despite possible destinations being hushed, a sensational rumour has now linked the 30-year-old with a switch to Barcelona.
The Catalan-outfit are set to lose Jasper Cillessen in the transfer window, and need to find a deputy to Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
On a list of targets, Mignolet is included alongside other candidates Kevin Casteels of Wolfsburg, Yann Sommer from Borussia Mönchengladbach, and Real Sociedad’s Geronimo Rulli.
Cillessen’s replacement will take over the gloves in a backup capacity at the Camp Nou, but with such a saturation of goalkeepers, it seems unlikely that Liverpool could command a large fee for Mignolet. - Read Sport
