Transfer Targets: Wirtz and Kerkez on the Radar

Goalkeeper Situation: Kelleher Out, Mamardashvili In
Caoimhin Kelleher is expected to leave this summer as he chases regular first-team football. The Irish international has drawn interest from several Premier League clubs, including newly-promoted Leeds United, West Ham United, and especially Brentford, who are searching for a replacement for Mark Flekken following his move to Bayer Leverkusen.
Liverpool had planned to begin negotiations around £20 million for Kelleher, who enters the final year of his contract. With Giorgi Mamardashvili set to arrive from Valencia in a deal agreed last year for £29 million, Kelleher will become the third-choice keeper behind the Georgian and Alisson Becker.
Though Kelleher will depart Anfield with gratitude for his Carabao Cup contributions in 2022 and 2024, his desire to become a No. 1 has been clear for over a year. Brentford are now close to finalizing an £18 million deal for the 25-year-old.as reported by BBC Sport.

“I’ve had eight amazing years and still have a year left. I’m not as young anymore, but I love this club and have created incredible memories. I’m hopeful about what lies ahead.”
“I still believe I can deliver high-level performances. I’ve done that this season and feel I belong at the top. If I keep performing, I hope to stay here for many more years.”
