- Liverpool have been browsing the market for a new goalkeeper for the summer
- They are worried their No.2 goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher, will leave the club
- Is it a mid-life crisis for De Bruyne? A great player, but what about the new look? Is he recording a song? Go back to being boring Kevin! It’s All Kicking Off
Liverpool have been browsing the market for a new goalkeeper as they are worried Caoimhin Kelleher may decided to leave the club during the summer transfer window.
Kelleher is under contract until 2026 but, Liverpool would be willing to sell the 24-year-old if their asking price of around £20million was met – meaning they would need a new No.2.
Jurgen Klopp has identified Sunderland’s Anthony Patterson as a potential replacement for Kelleher, should he leave the club during the summer – according to reports.
Patterson is just 23 years old but he’s already made over 100 appearances for Sunderland during his relatively short career and is being touted as one to watch for the future.
Therefore, Liverpool want to get in there before the other clubs come knocking. Klopp views the youngster as the perfect back-up to their No.1 goalkeeper, Alisson Becker.

It remains to be seen as to whether Kelleher will leave Liverpool. However, the Cork-born keeper s believed to want regular first-team football to increase his chances of playing internationally.
Nevertheless, it would take a sensational to pries Kelleher out of Klopp’s hands. Speaking about Kelleher’s potential departure in May 2023, he said: ‘Kelleher? What’s happening with Kelleher? He has a contract. You want us to say goodbye (to Adrian) just in case?’.
The Liverpool manager finished by saying: ‘Honestly, I can’t see Caoimh leaving. It must be an extraordinary offer for me to start thinking, I have to say.’
