Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is reportedly set for a potential departure from the club at the end of the season.
At 26, Kelleher has struggled to secure consistent playing time at Anfield, and a move away appears necessary for him to feature regularly. According to Fichajes, Premier League sides Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa are all showing interest in signing him.
The Republic of Ireland international is likely to be open to joining another top-flight English club in pursuit of more minutes on the pitch. With Liverpool’s current first-choice keeper Alisson Becker firmly established and the incoming arrival of La Liga goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, Kelleher is expected to fall even further down the pecking order—making an exit logical.
Chelsea and Newcastle Interested
Chelsea are reportedly dissatisfied with Robert Sanchez’s performances and are exploring options to strengthen the position. Kelleher has proven to be a dependable backup at Liverpool, and many, including Virgil van Dijk, have praised him as a “world-class” talent. He could offer Chelsea a reliable upgrade.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United are preparing for the future beyond Nick Pope and view Kelleher as a strong candidate for a long-term solution in goal. It remains to be seen whether they will make a formal offer in the coming weeks.
Aston Villa Eyeing Kelleher as Martinez Replacement
Aston Villa are also in the mix, considering Kelleher as a possible successor to Emiliano Martinez, who is reportedly attracting interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia. If Martinez leaves, Villa will need a suitable replacement, and Kelleher fits the bill.
With interest from three strong Premier League sides, the Liverpool shot-stopper will have appealing options to consider as he looks to take the next step in his career.
