Simon Mignolet may hold the key to Liverpool landing Domagoj Vida from Besikas.

The Reds had a £19.5m (€22m) offer for the Croatia international rejected by the Turkish giants on Tuesday night.

And reports in Turkey believe competition is fierce for defender, with Milliyet claiming Everton, West Ham and Arsenal are all interested.

But the Reds could have the upper hand, with Besiktas on the lookout for a new No.1.

Having sold Fabri to Fulham this week, Besiktas are now lining up a £12m move for Mignolet.

Jurgen Klopp would certainly sacrifice Mignolet if it meant landing an additional defensive piece.

Especially after landing Alisson from Roma for £67m, effectively making Mignolet third choice anyway.

Liverpool are keen to add the Croatia international, who shone at the World Cup alongside Dejan Lovren.

Vida could push Lovren for a starting berth alongside Virgil van Dijk, or act as quality back-up and ease the pressure on Joel Matip to return to full fitness.
