Belgian international goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has made a surprise move from Liverpool to Club Brugge, with the two clubs announcing the deal on Monday, August 5, 2019.
According to Club Brugge, Mignolet, who had been sidelined by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp following the arrival of Alisson last summer, has agreed a five-year deal 'subject to a medical' that took place earlier that day.
While the club did not reveal Mignolet's salary, reports suggest that Liverpool received an initial £6.4 million (seven million euros) for his services.
Mignolet, who played over 200 times for Liverpool after arriving from Sunderland in 2013, has 22 appearances for his national team.
"It's official, Simon is a Bruges boy!" the Belgian top flight club said on its website, alongside a video of Mignolet arriving at his new home.
