Caoimhin Kelleher may finally get his move away from Liverpool Football Club this summer.
The Republic of Ireland international is reportedly attracting interest domestically.
The Reds have so far not been keen to allow the former Ringmahon Rangers star to depart. However, the impending arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia will surely enable Liverpool to part ways with their long-serving No.2.
Brentford set to sign Caoimhin Kelleher?
Bayer Leverkusen’s successful transfer, medical depending, of Mark Flekken is going to leave Brentford short in a key position.
Fabrizio Romano reported on X (formerly Twitter) that Die Werkself are set to secure the deal for £8.43m [€10m], with ‘medical tests to follow shortly’.
This corroborates Florian Plettenberg’s original confirmation.
With Sky Sports noting that Kelleher is considered the ‘chosen replacement’, one might reasonably imagine we’ll already be braced for talks.
More to the point, our backup goalkeeper has had one eye on the exit door for quite some time now.
Speaking after Liverpool won a second Premier League title in five years, Caiomhin Kelleher once again reiterated his desire to seek pastures new as a No.1.
“I’ve said it before as well that I feel like I’m good enough to be a number one and I feel like I’m good enough to play week in week out, and that’s what I’m looking to do,” he told Optus Sport.
“This season I was lucky enough to play a lot of games but it’s definitely something I’m looking at.”
