With goalkeeper Alisson on board, Liverpool may be ready to move on from both Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet.

Manager Jurgen Klopp is spoiled for choices between the sticks now that Liverpool has signed the Brazilian international from Roma for a price that could rise to €62.5 million (£56 million) - a world-record fee for a goalkeeper.

According to John Percy of The Telegraph, Klopp is open to selling both Karius and Mignolet before the Premier League summer transfer window closes Aug. 9.

Karius, who arrived at Liverpool from Mainz in 2016, could be on his way back to Germany after attracting interest from Bayer Leverkusen. Doubts over his future as Liverpool's No. 1 emerged after this year's Champions League final in which he committed a pair of costly errors in the club's loss to Real Madrid.

Mignolet is reportedly being targeted by Barcelona and Turkish outfit Besiktas. Liverpool would allegedly demand a fee of £12 million for the Belgian international, who joined the Reds from Sunderland in 2013.

Meanwhile, rookie 'keepers Kamil Grabara and Caoimhin Kelleher reportedly impressed Klopp during Liverpool's preseason tour, and could back up Alisson if Karius and Mignolet are sent packing.
