£30M Premier League star tipped to join Chelsea as move wanted!

Caoimhin Kelleher has been tipped to leave Liverpool and make the move to CHELSEA at the end of the season, as he is too good to be sitting on the bench at Anfield, claims Danny Murphy.

Liverpool are reluctant to sell Kelleher to a direct rival but would still likely accept an offer in the region of £30million, but the stopper has made no secret of his desire to be the first-choice goalkeeper somewhere after spending the past five and a half seasons as a back-up option behind Alisson Becker.

Kelleher has made 61 appearances for Liverpool since graduating from the club’s academy and making his first-team debut in 2020, but has been tipped to leave the club, and Stamford Bridge will be one option for the stopper to make in the summer.

‘I think next season at Liverpool we will have Alisson starting and Giorgi Mamardashvili on the bench with Caoimhin Kelleher leaving,’ the former Liverpool and England midfielder told OLBG.

‘My understanding is that Kelleher will leave and there won’t be short of takers, he is an outstanding goalkeeper and deserves the chance to go and be a number one.

‘I think he will get a really good move and Alisson will have a season in front of Mamardashvili to help him learn and get settled.

‘Where could Kelleher go? Well, I think Chelsea’s an obvious one, although I think Robert Sanchez is improving hugely. I think he gets some unfair criticism for a few mistakes here in the season. I think he’s actually a really good goalkeeper.

‘He just gets a bit nervous at times with the ball at his feet. But CHELSEA an obvious one and I think probably Newcastle, if they’re thinking of evolving as a club and becoming more competitive.

‘Nick Pope has been a great keeper over the years but having more injuries at the minute and he’s not the best with his feet. He’ll admit that himself.

‘I think for Kelleher, Newcastle or Chelsea are two wonderful options for him.’
