Liverpool’s backup goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher, is attracting significant interest ahead of the summer transfer window.
Caoimhin Kelleher set for summer exit? Chelsea and four others keen on deal
Chelsea is reportedly leading the race to secure the 26-year-old’s services, with Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest,Bournemouth, and Celtic also expressing interest.
Kelleher, who has been a reliable deputy to Alisson Becker since his debut in 2019, has made 20 Premier League appearances over six seasons.
Despite his limited game time, he has showcased his talent, particularly in cup competitions, and has expressed a desire to become a first-choice goalkeeper.
Chelsea’s current goalkeeping situation has been less than ideal, with Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen failing to consistently impress. Kelleher’s proven abilities make him an attractive option for the Blues as they seek to strengthen their squad.
Liverpool is reportedly willing to consider offers for Kelleher, with a valuation around £35 million. While Juventus and Napoli have also shown interest, Kelleher is said to prefer remaining in the Premier League.
As the summer transfer window approaches, a competitive battle for Kelleher’s signature is anticipated.
His ambition to secure regular first-team football aligns with the needs of several clubs seeking to bolster their goalkeeping options.
