Liverpool star emerges as target for Nice boss Patrick Vieira

Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has emerged as a priority signing for Ligue 1 club Nice during the January transfer window, according to Belgian daily Het Belang van Limburg. Mignolet wanted to leave the Reds in the summer following Alisson signing, but Liverpool told the goalkeeper he could not depart on loan, before then choosing to loan out Loris Karius to Besiktas. His relationship with Jurgen Klopp has also been cold since the German decided to bench him. Nice are interested in Belgian shot-stopper. Nice boss Patrik Vieira is not happy with the goalkeeping options he has in his squad and wants to bring in a new number one during the winter window. It remains to be seen whether Klopp allows Mignolet to escape Liverpool before bringing in a new number two goalkeeper.
