Liverpoolwill only allow Caoimhin Kelleher to seal his Anfield departure if a ‘stupidly high’ bid is lodged,RedmenTVpresenterSte Hoarehas told GIVEMESPORT.
Jurgen Klopp has wasted no time in bolstering his squad,splashing out £35millionon Alexis Mac Allister, but there are likely to be further incomings and outgoings from the Reds’ ranks.
Liverpool transfer news – Caoimhin Kelleher
According toThe Athletic,Liverpoolare expecting Kelleher to move onto pastures new as he is ready to be a first-choice goalkeeper.
The ɾєρօɾτ suggests the Merseyside giants are keen to keep the Irishman on their books, but Klopp has also publicly stated that a huge offer would tempt the Reds into sanctioning his exit.
Kelleher is not short of admirers as it is understood that Kelleher hasattracted interestfrom Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur, Brentford and Brighton & Hove Albion, along with clubs across Europe.
It has emerged thatLiverpoolwill find it difficult to hold onto the 24-year-old if abid worth £25millionis put on the table by one of his suitors as he is keen to secure more game-time.
But a permanent move away from Anfield may not be the only option as transfer insider Dean Jones recentlytold GIVEMESPORTthat Kelleher could seek a loan switch.
What has Ste Hoare said about Kelleher?
Hoare believesLiverpoolwill have no ɾєɑȿօɴ to cash in on Kelleher unless a lucrative bid that cannot be refused is tabled.
The RedmenTV presenter feels an offer will only be accepted if it means they have enough cash to buy a suitable replacement as Adrian will not move up the pecking order and become Klopp’s second-choice goalkeeper.
Hoare told GIVEMESPORT:”Unless the fee is stupidly high, where you can sell him and then get a goalkeeper who is willing to be a number two and good enough for half his price, it wouldn’t make sense.
“I would never be comfortable with Adrian. I don’t think it means anything about Kelleher because Adrian will never be number two again.”
ShouldLiverpoolsell Kelleher this summer?
Kelleher found game-time difficult to come by during the 2022/23 campaign and, according toTransfermarkt, he was limited to just 360 minutes of first-team action.
In fact, the final day draw with Southampton was the shot-stopper’sonly Premier League outingof the entire season, but there is no doubt that Klopp is a huge fan.
TheLiverpoolchief has previously claimed that Kelleher is’exceptional’, while he has quickly become one of the best second-choice options between the sticks in the English top flight.
He has kept10 clean sheetsin his first 21 senior appearances, which emphasises that he is a safe pair of hands.
£32,000-per-weekman if he pushes for an exit.
