Europe’s heavyweights should be interested in Mignolet
On Wednesday, the agent of Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet hinted that the Belgium international may be interested in leaving the Stadium of Light in the summer, reports that the player himself denied later this the day.
Nevertheless, while the quotes were proven to be falsified, the certainly thrust Mignolet into the limelight. The Black Cats number one has been one of the shining lights for Sunderland this season after a somewhat underwhelming domestic campaign for the Wearside outside.
Had it not been for the goalkeeping exploits of the Belgian, the Black Cats were certainly be in more perilous position then they currently find themselves in, and they have Mignolet to thank as the reason for this.
With Sunderland currently hovering just five points above the relegation zone, there is a real possibility they could find themselves Championship bound come May and with the exploits of 24-year-old likely to have caught the eye of potential suitors, interest in him would be understandably high.
Reports continuously suggest that Victor Valdes is set to leave Barcelona and while the Catalan side are supposedly eyeing up Pepe Reina or David De Gea, Mignolet would not only be a more astute acquisition, but come at a cheaper price as well.
