Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet admits the rumours about Iker Casillas have reached him.

The Real Madrid legend, currently with Porto, is being linked with a move to Anfield,

Mignolet told the Liverpool Echo: “Listen, I've never had hatred for someone if they have taken my place. You can't keep hatred inside yourself if you are fighting for something.

“As a goalkeeper, you are on your own and even now, after a solid season, the rumours are starting again with Casillas.

“I'm 29 now. I know what happens when you are the Liverpool goalkeeper. Whether you have good performances, s*** performances, the scrutiny is always there. Always."
