Mignolet Questions Karius Loan Move
Simon Mignolet has been left frustrated by Liverpool’s decision to deny him a loan move while allowing Loris Karius to join Besiktas.
“Karius’ transfer changed nothing for me,” said Karius. “I’ve always been clear: I want to play. Whether I’m No.2 or No.3 doesn’t matter. Playing time is the most important thing. I haven’t been told anything since Loris left. I don’t know what my future with Liverpool looks like. We shall see what happens this week.”
“I find it strange that Karius was loaned out, while I also had options for a loan. But for some reason that wasn’t possible. A keeper who was made first choice ahead of me last year gets to leave on loan. Strange.”
Mignolet has not played a competitive game for Liverpool since late-January, having been dropped from the first-team for Loris Karius halfway through last season.
The Belgium international seemingly has no way to claim the No.1 spot back following the summer signing of Alisson from Roma and hoped he would be allowed to leave before the transfer window closes.
