Reports indicate that Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is eyeing a departure from Anfield during the upcoming summer transfer window in search of regular playing time.
Despite Kelleher’s commendable performances while filling in for Alisson during the latter’s injury absences, he faces tough competition for the starting goalkeeper position, with Alisson firmly established as Jurgen Klopp’s preferred choice and his successor.
With interest from Premier League clubs such as Wolves and Nottingham Forest, as well as Scottish Premiership side Celtic, Kelleher is reportedly keen to leave Liverpool to secure more opportunities on the field.
According to Football Insider, Kelleher is expected to push for a summer transfer, particularly after Klopp vetoed a move to Wolves in the previous transfer window. Liverpool is believed to value Kelleher at around £20 million.
Former Liverpool player Patrik Berger believes that Kelleher has earned the right to be a starting goalkeeper at another Premier League club, given his stellar performances this season, which have often been instrumental in securing points for Liverpool.
Berger highlighted Kelleher’s significance and expressed his desire for the goalkeeper to stay at Liverpool, although he acknowledged that Kelleher may seek opportunities elsewhere if he cannot secure regular playing time.
Regarding Darwin Nunez, rumors have surfaced suggesting that Liverpool could entertain the idea of selling him in the summer transfer window due to concerns about his goal-scoring prowess and the team’s waning title aspirations.
However, Fabrizio Romano reports that there is currently no concrete information regarding Nunez’s potential departure from Liverpool.
Romano suggests that decisions regarding Nunez’s future, along with other squad matters, are likely to be made once Arne Slot assumes the managerial reins at Liverpool and evaluates the squad.
As of now, there are no significant developments concerning Nunez’s situation.
