Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher Likely to Be Sold This Summer

Liverpool: The team is currently enjoying great success under manager Arne Slot. They are at the top of both the Premier League and Champions League standings. Out of 19 matches this season, they have won 17, showing how well the manager has led the team.

However, not everything is perfect for Liverpool. They are facing challenges with player contracts. Key players like Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are in the last year of their contracts. Yet, it seems that Caoimhin Kelleher is the player most likely to be sold.

According to reports from David Ornstein and James Pearce for The Athletic, Kelleher is expected to leave. He will be in the final year of his contract by summer. The Republic of Ireland international wants to be a starting goalkeeper after being a backup to Alisson for a long time. Despite his good performances when Alisson was injured, Kelleher knows he may not get that chance at Liverpool, especially with a new goalkeeper, Mamardashvili, joining the team.

Kelleher has wanted to leave Liverpool for the past two summers. However, he stayed because the club did not receive offers that matched his worth. In August, Liverpool turned down a bid of £7 million plus goalkeeper Matt Turner from Nottingham Forest.

If Kelleher leaves, Liverpool will miss him. But keeping him would not be fair. Alisson Becker is the first-choice goalkeeper, and with Mamardashvili now on the team, Kelleher would likely be on the bench again next season. This situation is not right for a talented player like him.

Kelleher recently showcased his skills by saving a penalty from Kylian Mbappe during a match against Real Madrid. If he decides to leave Liverpool, he will have plenty of offers. He deserves to play regularly instead of sitting on the bench.
