The Belgian made just two appearances for Jurgen Klopp’s side last season, both in domestic cup competitions, as he deputised for Alisson Becker.
Mignolet’s agent has said that the 31-year-old wants to leave Anfield this summer, but the Liverpool Echo reports that the club are resistant to losing him.
