Reports indicate that Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has expressed his desire to leave the club and is planning to seek a transfer this summer.
The Republic of Ireland international has progressed through Liverpool’s ranks, primarily serving as backup to Alisson Becker in the senior squad.
Kelleher on the move?
The 25-year-old has only made 47 senior appearances for Liverpool but is regarded as one of the top second-choice goalkeepers in the Premier League, although Man City’s Stefan Ortega might disagree.
With Alisson suffering from injuries this season, Kelleher has made 26 appearances across all competitions and performed admirably.
Kelleher is undoubtedly capable of being the first-choice goalkeeper at another Premier League club, and he has been heavily linked with a move ahead of the summer transfer window.
A report from Football Insider claims Kelleher has decided he ‘wants to quit’ Liverpool and is seeking a move, with the club ‘lining up a replacement’.
Kelleher is eager to become a first-choice goalkeeper elsewhere after limited opportunities at Anfield in recent years.
The Republic of Ireland international understands he will always play second fiddle to Alisson Becker while the Brazilian remains at Liverpool.
The Reds value the 25-year-old at around £20-£22 million as he looks to move on when the transfer window opens next month. His current contract runs until 2026.
As reported by Football Insider on April 30, Liverpool has been scouting for replacements, with Burnley’s James Trafford among the targets.
Additionally, summer signing Alexis Mac Allister, following an impressive debut season for Liverpool, has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
Football Insider reports a ‘big update’ on Mac Allister’s proposed move to Real Madrid, stating he’s not planning to leave.
Mac Allister ‘has no plans to leave’ as he is ‘keen’ to work with new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot.
It is claimed that La Liga champions Real Madrid are interested in the midfielder.
However, a well-placed source told Football Insider that Mac Allister does not intend to quit Liverpool despite Jurgen Klopp’s departure.
The former Brighton star is eager to start strong under new manager Arne Slot when the 2024-25 campaign begins.
