Liverpool Will Reportedly Retain Simon Mignolet for 2019-20 Season

A year after pushing for a move away in search of playing time after the club signed Alisson from Roma, The Times’ Paul Joyce says that the 31-year-old goalkeeper and the club are in agreement that he will remain for the 2019-20 season.
