The Sun claims that although Liverpool is hesitant to sell Kelleher to a direct opponent, they would probably accept an offer of around £35 million.

After serving as Alisson Becker’s backup goalkeeper for the previous five and a half seasons, Kelleher has made no secret of his desire to be the starting goalkeeper someplace.

as Stamford Bridge, the 25-year-old would probably have a greater chance of starting as number one.However, given that Chelsea already has ten goalkeepers on their roster, some supporters might be surprised by the London team’s apparent interest in Kelleher.

In addition to Marcus Bettinelli, Djordje Petrovic, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Mike Penders, Gabriel Slonina, Luke Campbell, Ted Curd, and Teddy Sharman-Lowe, who are all under contract with the Blues, Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen are presently competing to be Enzo Maresca’s number one.

Kelleher has made eight appearances for Liverpool so far this season, but with Alisson expected to return from an injury layoff, his playing time will likely be drastically cut once more.

Kelleher, who was born in Cork, is at least his nation’s top pick.

In the Republic of Ireland’s 5-0 loss to England at Wembley on Sunday night, he earned his 20th senior international cap.

Kelleher made his third appearance at Wembley in his career; he had previously been the star of two EFL Cup final triumphs over Chelsea.

Shay Given, a former Ireland goalie, thinks Kelleher has demonstrated his ability to be a top pick in the Premier League.

“Caoimhin played 26 games last season and demonstrated that he has the talent to be a No. 1 in the Premier League,” Given told The Mirror. However, if I’m being completely honest, he needs to leave Liverpool if he wants to celebrate his 26th birthday later this month.Since everyone likes to go into training every day believing they are battling for a spot on the team, Kelleher would have been upset to hear [Arne] Slot publicly declare that Alisson will always be his first choice keeper.

Every professional football player must hope that they will keep their shirt if they are selected for the team and play well. Caoimhin does not possess that.

He has been assured that he will always support Alisson, and let’s face it, he is facing one of the greatest players in the world.

Later this month is Caoimhin’s 26th birthday. His time at Liverpool is over. Not to disparage a fantastic team, but they are beginning to realize that Kelleher is a talented player and that they cannot keep him behind them for much longer.Perhaps Caoimhin has been too forgiving thus far, but occasionally you really need to press the issue. It’s not a pleasant circumstance. Because of his strong loyalty to Liverpool, he doesn’t want to offend the supporters.

On the other hand, you only have one life, one job, and one chance to maximize your resources. He might be 36 years old in ten years and be considered to be past his prime.

After accumulating 28 points from their first 11 games under new manager Slot, Liverpool is currently leading the Premier League standings. Chelsea, meanwhile, has 19 points and is in third place.

In October, Kelleher assisted Liverpool in defeating Chelsea 2-1 at Anfield. In May, the two teams will rematch at Stamford Bridge.
