Caoimhin kelleher of liverpool could be on his way out of anfield this summer, and celtic could be waiting for him.
Celtic are on the lookout for a new goalkeeper, with brendan rodgers keen to strengthen his pack in the summer if he has the opportunity. With celtic losing at hearts today, pressure is building on the former liverpool gaffer.
Celtic need a new number one, but with the club set to retire in the summer, and according to journalist dean jones, liverpool stopper kelleher is something they will pursue.
Jones has stated that celtic will definitely be considering kelleher, according to jones, who spoke for givemesport. Celtic will sign caoimhin kelleher from liverpool.
jones said that the stopper is open to departure and that the bhoys are one of the clubs interested in signing him. “i’m told that kelleher will be open-minded about the decision-making process that begins at the end of this season.
I think you can see the process that is taking you to this point when you’re playing as a no.2 right now, and it’s under jurgen klopp.
You have a boss who completely trusts you in the most difficult situations, so it’s easy to stick around because you know that you’re still respected and desired,” jones said.
“with klopp leaving, i think kelleher will have to sit around as a back-up goalkeeper and know what that means for him.
I also think it might be the time to move on and make himself a no.1 somewhere else. Celtic seems to me to be a good option.
The irish links are evident, and he wants to be the republic of ireland’s no.1, so it seems like something that could arise. Celtic are definitely going to try it out,” kelleher said in recent weeks, showing how good he is.
If he does make a summer move, he more than deserves to have a chance to go somewhere and be a number one at a major club.
Liverpool could pay £30 million for kelleher, which could jeopardize celtic’s chances. Kenny dalglish has dubbed him a “fantastic” goalkeeper, and a move to celtic will certainly give the irishman a chance to show off his skills.
