Newcastle United will reportedly look to sign 26-year-old Irish goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher from Liverpool in the 2025 summer transfer window.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Caoimhin Kelleher is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Magpies are scouring the market for a goalkeeper heading into the 2025 summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Liverpool shot-stopper. Meanwhile, the Reds are open to parting ways with the 26-year-old academy graduate next year.
Caoimhin Kelleher and his Liverpool situation
Caoimhin Kelleher has been a dependable performer since breaking into the first-team squad at Liverpool FC. Born in Cork, the Irishman spent most of his formative years in his homeland before joining Liverpool from Ringmahon Rangers in July 2015. He made his senior bow for the Merseyside outfit in September 2019.
However, the 26-year-old academy graduate has struggled for regular game time due to Alisson Becker’s presence ahead of him in the pecking order. So, Kelleher has managed only 60 outings thus far for Liverpool, keeping 21 clean sheets while conceding 70 goals.
However, the Republic of Ireland international has piqued the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe with his exploits between the sticks for Liverpool in his limited opportunities. Recent reports have linked the Liverpool goalkeeper with Chelsea. Newcastle United might also be one of his prospective suitors in the 2025 summer transfer window.
Move across the Premier League on the cards?
Newcastle United’s interest in Caoimhin Kelleher is understandable. Nick Pope is on the wrong side of 30 and approaching the twilight of his accomplished career. In addition, Martin Dubravka will likely leave Newcastle United next year amid his links with Al Shabab. So, the Tyneside outfit should invest in a top-notch goalkeeper in the 2025 summer transfer window.
Kelleher has the ability to take over from Nick Pope as the first-choice goalkeeper for Newcastle United. The Magpies are in a solid position to land the Irishman’s signature, with Liverpool open to parting ways with him in the 2025 summer transfer window for the “right price”.
Meanwhile, the 26-year-old Republic of Ireland international is not the only goalkeeper on Newcastle United’s radar, with James Trafford also a top target. So, it will be interesting to see who the Magpies sign in the 2025 summer transfer window.
