Not in the best form as things stand, Liverpool remain in the hunt for a Champions League spot for next season as Jürgen Klopp looks to improve on last year when the club finished the campaign in eighth.
Ensuring he didn’t need a new goalkeeper, the German manager eventually signed Loris Karius from FSV Mainz 05 for £5.3m, which hasn’t exactly gone to plan.
Corriere dello Sport on Friday seem to think the main target, in a Petr Cech to Arsenal move, could be Inter Milan’s Samir Handanovic.
The Slovenian goalkeeper has been with the Serie A outfit since 2012 when he transferred from Udinese, and the Italian newspaper claim Klopp could, over the next few months, mount an offensive for the 32-year-old.
Chelsea, who could see (although we doubt it) Thibaut Courtois return to Spain, are also said to be interested.
Inter Milan are already thinking about the post-Handanovic era, with Atlético Madrid’s Jan Oblak and Genoa’s Mattia Perin the likely target to ensure a solid succession.
It will be interesting to see who Klopp ends up trusting at the season, and if he’s still unsure, shelling out for a new goalkeeper while getting rid of Mignolet (he’s the older of the two) might not be too surprising.
