Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown has claimed that Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher could look to leave Anfield in 2025.
Speaking to Football Insider, Brown admitted that he could see the Reds stopper wanting a fresh challenge at the end of this season, following the signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia:
“With Mamardashvili coming back from loan, it leads to questions. From what I’ve seen of Kelleher, I watched him a few times last year, he strikes me of being more than capable of becoming a first-choice goalkeeper.
“He’s taken his opportunity at Liverpool to the point he could even challenge Alisson. But I don’t think he’s happy being the backup, and especially not if the new arrival is ahead of him.
Kelleher will know that Alisson is still firmly first-choice when he is available, given his status as possibly the world’s best ‘keeper, and Mamardashvili potentially coming in next summer would limit his chances even more.
Frankly, the 25-year-old deserves to be a regular starter at a Premier League club, and if that isn’t going to happen for him at Liverpool, a move away makes sense for all parties.
