Liverpool are reportedly poised to step up their interest in Sunderland keeper Simon Mignolet after receiving mixed messages over the future of Pepe Reina.
The Belgium international wants to secure his place as his country's number one shot-stopper and feels that a move to a bigger club will promote his cause.
Reds keeper Reina has been linked with a move away from Anfield with Barcelona likely suitors, leaving manager Brendan Rodgers looking for a replacement.
The former Swansea City boss believes that a bid in the region of £7m will be enough to lure Mignolet away from the Stadium of Light, reports the Daily Mail.
Mignolet played in every single Premier League game for Sunderland last season.
