The 31-year old shot stopper is expected to leave Anfield this summer
| ||||||
Mignolet spent last season as a second fiddle to Alisson Becker, managing just two appearances for the Reds.
Despite fallen short of playtime with the Reds, the 31-year-old has proved impressive with his attitude towards his successor and teammates.
And Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp now expects him to remain at Anfield this summer.
Speaking after Liverpool's 3-1 win at Bradford City, Klopp was asked if Mignolet will stay at Anfield.
"Yeah, how I've heard," the boss replied.
"I've had a lot of conversations with him in the last couple of years and months. Before we left we had a talk and I would say yes [he will stay]."
On whether Mignolet continuing his Liverpool career would be because he values the 31-year-old's professionalism, Klopp continued: "Yeah. I think it's because at a club like Liverpool you need two No.1s at least and we have that, that's cool, with Ali and Simon.
"That's a very good situation for the club but a situation I think you should have and that's why everything is fine from my point of view."
Mignolet was linked with a move to Crystal Palace over the weeks, but it appears the Belgium international is also wanting a stay at Anfield than moving elsewhere this summer.
