Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet is patiently waiting for an offer from Napoli, according to his agent Nico Vaesen.
The Belgian stopper, 30, is now third in the pecking order at Anfield after the £66.8million entrance of Brazil No1 Alisson from Roma.

Jurgen Klopp has slapped a £12m price-tag on his reserve keeper – piquing the interest of a host of European clubs, including La Liga champions Barcelona.
Now, Mignolet’s agent, Vaesen, has told a Naples radio station he is anticipating an offer for his client from Napoli – who’ve pursued him for years now.
Vaesen said: “Mignolet likes Napoli and the interest is not new. Napoli have enquired about the player on several occasions now in previous transfer windows.
“There’s no confirmation of a move to Napoli, though, and we’ll have to wait to see if in the next few days they make an offer.

“Considering the market will close in a few days, I imagine they’ll have to make a move soon if we want to continue the talks so that everyone can reach an agreement.”
Barcelona were the shock suitors for Mignolet earlier this month as they lined-up a replacement for Jasper Cillessen – then a target for Chelsea.
However, now the Blues have brought in world-record buy Kepa Arrizabalaga, it would appear the Dutch stopper will stay, meaning Barca are now longer in for Mignolet.
Turkish giants Besiktas have also expressed their interest in a deal for Mignolet this month – and are thought to have made contact last week.
