Brentford have expressed an interest in signing Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, with the Anfield club preparing to sell the Republic of Ireland international this summer. Kelleher, 26, has made it clear he wants to leave after several years as the back-up to first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker.
The Irish goalkeeper is approaching the final 12 months of his contract with Liverpool and the club are willing to listen to offers in excess of £20m. Brentford have previously made contact with the possibility of signing him, as their current number one, Mark Flekken, is closing in on a move to Bayer Leverkusen.
However, Kelleher will not make a decision on his future destination anytime soon, as he is expected to be a name in high demand by many clubs. West Ham United and newly promoted Leeds United have both shown clear interest, making the move more competitive.
Bournemouth are weighing up their options after Kepa Arrizabalaga returned to Chelsea after a season-long loan spell in the south of England. Meanwhile, Aston Villa could be looking for a new goalkeeper, having raised doubts over Emiliano Martinez and speculation over his return to Arsenal.
Kelleher admitted after the Premier League trophy was handed over at Anfield that he is ready to move to find regular first-team football. He stated that he feels capable of playing in every game and wants to take on the role of number one goalkeeper in the team. With the new championship approaching, Kelleher will carefully consider any offer that provides him with a starting place and stability. Brentford and other clubs are ready to offer their project to convince the talented goalkeeper, while Liverpool are planning an active transfer market to strengthen the goalkeeping department ahead of next season.
