Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has been linked with a move away from the Merseyside club in recent months.
Caoimhin Kelleher has been a very useful player for Liverpool over the years, and he has played a key role in their success in the domestic competition competitions. However, the player is keen on regular game-time, with Chelsea and Newcastle United are keen on securing his signature.
According to a report by Football Insider, the 26-year-old is not keen on signing an extension with Liverpool, and he wants to move on in search of regular playing time. The Irishman is unlikely to be a regular starter at Liverpool ahead of Alisson Becker.
In addition, Liverpool have already signed Giorgi Mamardashvillie from Valencia, and he is set to arrive at Anfield next season. Kelleher will fall further down the pecking order if he stays at the Merseyside club. It makes sense for him to move on in search of regular playing time.
Chelsea and Newcastle United keen on Kelleher
Chelsea need to bring in a quality goalkeeper, and the 26-year-old could prove to be the ideal acquisition. The Republic of Ireland international could be an upgrade on Robert Sanchez, who has failed to impress since the move to Chelsea.
Newcastle United are keen on the player as well, and it remains to be seen whether they can win the race for his signature. The Magpies are up against Chelsea, and they will have to spend a premium in order to get the deal done. Liverpool will not want to lose a prospect like him easily. In addition to that, the competition between Chelsea and Newcastle United could drive the price up.
The Tyneside outfit need to bring in a quality alternative to Nick Pope, and the 26-year-old Liverpool goalkeeper seems like the ideal profile. The 26-year-old Irishman has the quality to play for the biggest clubs in the country, and he could be an important player for both clubs.
It remains to be seen where he ends up. Liverpool will not let him leave for cheap, and they will look to recoup as much as possible. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few months.
