West Ham Sets Sights on Liverpool's Goalkeeper

Big news from the transfer front: West Ham has placed Liverpool's dependable goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher, at the top of their summer transfer wishlist. With Liverpool expected to undergo a major squad overhaul next season, they might be willing to let Kelleher go for the right price.

Liverpool's Squad Shake-Up on the Horizon

Despite Liverpool's current pursuit of the Premier League title, speculation is rife about next season's lineup. Star players like Trent Alexander-Arnold are being eyed by Real Madrid, while there's strong interest from Saudi clubs in Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz. Nunez, in particular, is likely to be on his way out.

Moreover, there could be more departures as centre-back Jarell Quansah may find himself booted out once a new defender is signed. Liverpool is in talks regarding promising talents, including Dean Huijsen.

Kelleher's Future at Anfield in Jeopardy

In the midst of all this, Kelleher is facing tough competition for game time behind Alisson Becker. Having consistently proven his skill, the 26-year-old is ready for more than just a bench role. With a new keeper, Giorgi Mamardashvili, reportedly joining from Valencia, Kelleher's position could further diminish.

West Ham's Ambitions and Liverpool's Expectations

With only a year left on his contract, Kelleher has openly expressed his desire for regular play, making Liverpool's willingness to sell more likely. West Ham, looking to upgrade on Alphonse Areola, sees Kelleher as a prime candidate for their goalkeeping needs.

Initially, West Ham may propose a loan deal; however, Liverpool is unlikely to entertain that option without a firm commitment to a permanent transfer.

What Will Kelleher Cost West Ham?

So, how much would it take for West Ham to land Kelleher? Reports vary, with estimates ranging from £20 million to upwards of £35 million. Given the player’s status as a homegrown talent, any transfer is expected to contribute significantly to Liverpool's financial books.

The Future Remains Uncertain

As Liverpool navigates this uncertain landscape with Kelleher’s future hanging in the balance, they face the pressure of multiple suitors vying for his signature. Will West Ham secure their top target, or will a bidding war ensue? Stay tuned!
