According to The Athletic journalist James Pearce, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool could sell Caoimhin Kelleher in the summer transfer window.
The well-known and well-respected journalist has claimed that Liverpool could part company with the 24-year-old Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper for £20 million.
Pearce has said that if Kelleher gets the chance to play regular first-team football and become the number one goalkeeper at another club, then he would take it.

Pearce wrote: “Caoimhin Kelleher could leave if he’s offered the chance to be a No 1 elsewhere and I reckon he’s worth £20million.”
HITC Verdict: Summer exit likely
In our view, it is very likely that Caoimhin Kelleher will leave Liverpool at the end of the season.
The Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper has done well for Liverpool when he has got games.
Now, Alisson is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and we do not think that he will be removed from his status anytime soon.
There are reports that Celtic, Aston Villa and Leicester City are interested in Kelleher.
Now, if Celtic, Villa or Leicester are able to cough up the cash that Liverpool would want for Kelleher, then they could well be able to sign him.
We believe that the 24-year-old is good enough to be the number one goalkeeper at the Hoops, the Villans of the Foxes.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp described Kelleher as “a top-class goalie” who is “calm” and “makes incredible saves” on Liverpool’s YouTube channel last year.
