Caoimhin Kelleher could be heading for a Liverpool exit this summer.

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp does not want to lose Caoimhin Kelleher this summer, but he may be forced to let his reserve goalkeeper go. The Republic of Ireland goalkeeper is looking for a steady start after several seasons as a substitute for Alisson

Highly regarded at Anfield, the 24-year-old has won the hearts of supporters with his contributions in recent campaigns, gaining fame for his penalty-saving heroics. But Kelleher has now reached an age where he wants to play regularly.

And with Alisson regular first choice at Liverpool following another world-class season, the Reds face the prospect of losing their reliable number 2 in the coming weeks. Anfield report that Klopp would ideally like to keep the Irishman for at least a year.

But Kelleher only played five times last season and eight times the year before. He rivals Southampton goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu for Ireland’s No. 1 and his compatriot made 32 Premier League appearances last season.

So if an attractive offer should arrive this summer, Kelleher will be happy to try it out. And Klopp’s transfer policy during his time on Merseyside was mainly to allow players to leave when there is a better opportunity elsewhere or when they want to leave.

It could mean that Germany against their wishes will give Kelleher the green light to leave this summer in gratitude for his loyalty over the past few seasons. Despite his talent, the goalkeeper did not complain about a lack of playing time.

Any departure would force Klopp to replace him, preferably with a homegrown player, lest he take another non-native spot. The Reds currently only have two such positions available.

A goalkeeper who fits those criteria and has been linked with Liverpool is Hannover 96’s Ron-Robert Zieler. The former Manchester United player qualifies as homegrown, despite being German, thanks to his stay in Manchester between 2005 and 2010

He has never made an appearance in the Red Devils first team, but the former Leicester mercenary would therefore avoid taking one of the bottom two non-homegrown places.

This would be beneficial as many of Liverpool’s other summer targets would also take those places, such as Nice’s Khephren Thuram and Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Manu Kone.

Liverpool will be happy to have a reliable number 2 as they have the Europa League to play in 2023-24. If cheap signing Zieler is not an option, 36-year-old Adrian – who has been third-choice for the last three seasons – has signed a contract extension and could be promoted as Alisson’s backup.

According to reports, Liverpool is dominating the competition to capture the 21-year-old Chelsea target.

Celta Vigo midfielder Gabri Veiga has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks.

Liverpool are currently leading the race to sign the 21-year-old midfielder this summer, according to a report from the Transfer Room.

The player is also reportedly a target for Chelsea and other Premier League clubs including Manchester United and Newcastle United are monitoring him.

Veiga was a key player for Celta Vigo last season and has eleven goals and four assists to his credit in all competitions.

The talented attacking midfielder has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs with his performances and where he lands remains to be seen.

Apparently, the player has a €40m release clause in his contract and it remains to be seen if the Reds are ready to pay it.

It’s no secret that Liverpool need midfield reinforcements. Veiga can play both as a number ten and as an advanced central midfielder.

The talented youngster will help create goalscoring opportunities for Liverpool and he will also score goals himself.

Chelsea certainly have more financial resources compared to Liverpool but the Reds can offer them European football next season.

It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can fend off competition from their Premier League rivals and sign the talented young midfielder.

Meanwhile, Chelsea also need to add quality and depth in midfield. Players like Mateo Kovacic are expected to move this summer and the Blues should look to sign a good playmaker.
