DEVASTATING NEWS: Coming live from Anfield, “The club’s made that decision to get another goalkeeper and from the outside looking in, it looks like they’ve made a decision to go in a different direction and me and my family are going a different direction. I have made it clear to the club this will be my last season no hard feelings”. Liverpool star confirms he wants to quit Anfield this summer. According to Reports, he feels he’s no longer wanted by the club after the signing of Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili which he confirmed that the club are already thinking of a future without him. This is disrespectful, it shows I’m no longer needed. Liverpool star to leave this summer.

This summer, Liverpool began a new era with the appointment of manager Arne Slot but opted not to make major changes to their squad. They signed only one new player, forward Federico Chiesa from Juventus for £10 million. Conversely, they sold promising young talents Sepp van den Berg and Fabio Carvalho to Brentford for £25 million and £27.5 million, respectively.

Additionally, Liverpool made a significant move by agreeing to a deal for Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will join the team next summer for a potential fee of up to £29 million, set to play in the 2025/26 season.

For now, Caoimhin Kelleher, who has been with Liverpool since 2015 and has made 47 first-team appearances, remains the backup to Alisson. Kelleher has long expressed his desire to be a first-choice goalkeeper, stating during international duty with Ireland, “I’ve made it clear in the last few years that I want to be a number one and play regularly.” He noted that the acquisition of another goalkeeper suggests the club is shifting direction.

Liverpool rejected several summer offers for Kelleher from Premier League clubs like Brighton, Nottingham Forest, and Wolves. However, after arranging for Mamardashvili to return to Valencia on loan for the season, Liverpool chose to keep Kelleher as Alisson’s backup.

Kelleher acknowledged that not all decisions about his future are within his control. He said, “From the outside, it might look like it’s 100% my decision, but sometimes it’s not in my hands,” noting Liverpool had turned down offers for him. “My ambition is clear – I believe I’m good enough, and I want to prove it.”

With a contract running until 2026 and a valuation of €20 million by Transfermarkt, many, including *FOOTBALLWAVE*, understand his wish to leave, especially after Liverpool invested nearly £30 million in a new goalkeeper. Kelleher has shown he has the potential to be a regular Premier League starter when given the opportunity. It seems probable that a club will make an offer for him in January or next summer, making it likely that Liverpool will look to secure a good transfer fee for him then.
