Caoimhin Kelleher, the 25-year-old Irish goalkeeper, has faced challenges in securing a regular starting position at Liverpool, primarily due to the exceptional form of Alisson Becker, the club’s undisputed first-choice keeper. Although Kelleher has stepped up during Alisson’s recent injury, proving his ability in both Premier League and European matches, his future at Anfield remains uncertain.
Once Alisson returns to full fitness, Kelleher’s role is likely to return to being a backup, especially with the addition of Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili set for next summer, which will add even more competition for the starting spot.
Chelsea are reportedly keeping a close watch on Kelleher’s situation, knowing that the Irishman has become frustrated with his limited playing time. If Kelleher decides to leave Liverpool in search of consistent first-team opportunities, Chelsea could emerge as strong contenders to sign him. The move would provide Kelleher with a chance to secure a spot in the Premier League’s starting XI and give Chelsea the depth they need in goal.
