Liverpool Ready to Sanction Caoimhín Kelleher’s Sale as Goalkeeper Seeks Regular Playing Time

Liverpool is reportedly open to the idea of selling goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher, acknowledging the 25-year-old’s desire for regular playing time, a prospect limited at the club due to the presence of Alisson Becker. Despite Kelleher’s contributions to domestic cup successes, the Irishman is urged to seek opportunities elsewhere to further his development.

With Alisson widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers globally, Kelleher faces a challenging competition for the starting role. While recognizing the rationale behind Alisson’s regular inclusion, Kelleher is advised to consider a move to a club where he can secure consistent game time.

Liverpool, understanding Kelleher’s situation, is prepared to sanction his sale during the summer transfer window, with his contract set to expire on June 30, 2026. The club values the goalkeeper at around £20 million, a fee that could potentially increase given Kelleher’s talent. However, his limited playing opportunities and expressed desire to leave may impact the negotiations.

Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s manager, is said to have identified Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson as a potential replacement for Kelleher. While Liverpool will not entertain offers during the January transfer window, they are willing to allow Kelleher to engage in talks with interested parties, paving the way for a potential move to a club where he can secure a prominent role.
