Mignolet: Liverpool stay made no sense after Alisson arrival

The 31-year-old returned to his homeland because he felt he would never regain his place in the first-team regardless of his performances

Simon Mignolet says he left Liverpool because he believed he had no chance of getting back into the starting side ahead of Alisson.

The goalkeeper spent six years with the Premier League outfit, but was limited to a backup role in his final season after Alisson joined from Roma in the summer of 2018.

Mignolet made just two appearances in all competitions for Jurgen Klopp's team last season and he left to join Club Brugge in the close season.
