Liverpool are not planning to let second-choice goalkeeper Simon Mignolet leave the club during the January transfer window.
Mignolet, who joined Liverpool from Sunderland in 2013, is aching for regular playing minutes after being restricted to just one appearance for the Reds so far this season.
However, according to Belgian daily Het Nieuwsblad, Liverpool will not allow Mignolet to leave Merseyside during the January transfer window as they aim to keep him as deputy to Alisson for the remainder of the season.
Despite having attracted interest from several clubs, including Napoli in the summer, Mignolet was told he could not leave, despite Loris Karius being granted a loan move to Besiktas.
As such, Mignolet has been forced to kick his heels on the bench this season.
The Belgian has not refrained from expressing his frustration at not having enough playing time, but Liverpool value him as a quality option to have as they aim to secure the league title for the first time since 1990.
Mignolet, who would ideally want to kick-start his career elsewhere, has a contract with Liverpool that runs until 2021.
