It’s already been a summer of mass change for Liverpool and it seems that Caoimhin Kelleher may be looking to add his name to this ever growing list.
As reported by James Pearce for The Athletic: ‘It remains to be seen if a club will test Liverpool’s resolve to keep £25million-rated reserve goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, who is desperate to become a No 1.’

However, with the Irishman being so talented, we’d certainly not like to see his best years being spent at another club after we’ve put so much work in making him the player he is.
Add on Alisson Becker’s far from perfect injury history last year (with the Brazilian playing 32 times, compared to his understudy’s 26 games in the last campaign), then perhaps we should be thinking of making our No.62 stay.
A fee of £25 million is far from unattainable for any top club either and so there will likely be interest in securing his services.

Especially when we consider that ex-Red Kamil Grabara completed a £15 million move to Wolfsburg this summer and has far from the same level of experience as our academy graduate – who is No.2 at Anfield.
Should he leave, it would then leave the Reds in a position where Vítezslav Jaros is second choice and so we would likely need more competition for our No.1 too.
With so much going on already, this seems like a price that will invite interest in a player who would be a steal for the right club – creating more work for the recruitment department.
