Wolverhampton Wanderers could be set to test Liverpool’s resolve by materialising their interest in goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
According to the Daily Mail, the Reds value the goalkeeper at around £20million
. Wolves, meanwhile, are said to want a replacement for the outgoing Jose Sa.Liverpool seem to be suffering from the luxury of having two good goalkeepers. Alisson Becker is, without a doubt, one of the best in the business.
There is absolutely no dropping him or selling him. Hence, the best Kelleher can hope for right now is a spot on the bench.
Alisson is also ‘just’ 30 — the shelf lives of goalkeepers tend to be more. So the Ireland international risks wasting his best years on our bench.
No Liverpool fan would want the club to have a below-par second-choice goalkeeper. We know very well that an injury to a first-team star can derail our season.
Jurgen Klopp has done his best to make Kelleher a part of the team, even starting him in the EFL Cup final in the 2021-22 season, which we won against Chelsea in the penalty shootouts. But it can’t be good enough for a player who is now 24 years old.
In the event of Sa’s departure, Kelleher could get great playing time at the Molineux-based outfit. Liverpool can also make a neat little earning from a player who isn’t in their starting XI.
But we can’t go back to Adrian San Miguel as our third-choice goalkeeper. He is 36 years old and is clearly declining. Neither is he reliable enough to consider as a dependable replacement for Alisson for more than a handful of games in a season. Could this be the opportunity Marcelo Pitaluga has been waiting for?
