According to Football Insider, Newcastle United, Chelsea, and other overseas clubs are interested in signing Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher this summer.
Kelleher, 26, will have only 12 months left on his Reds contract in June, and in an unexpected twist, he is said to be unwilling to sign an extension.
The Republic of Ireland international will strive for a Liverpool exit in the off-season with Giorgi Mamardashvili expected to provide further competition between the posts in Arne Slot’s team.
Alisson has already limited Kelleher’s opportunities with the Reds but he has made a great impression on his outings in recent years.
Newcastle and Chelsea are interested in Kelleher following the revelation of his contract.
He’s made 17 appearances this season, surrendering 15 goals and maintaining eight clean sheets.
Newcastle and Chelsea have battled for a consistent presence between the sticks and are considering a deal for the Liverpool star.
Last Monday (4 February), Football Insider revealed that Chelsea had conversations about signing a new goalkeeper in January but were unable to locate a suitable candidate.
Enzo Maresca has replaced Robert Sanchez, who has made a number of high-profile blunders, with Filip Jorgensen this season.
Meanwhile, Newcastle have maintained Martin Dubravka, who is out of contract in June, in goal despite Nick Pope’s recent comeback from injury.
Newcastle to rejoin the Marc Guehi race this summer.
On February 4, Football Insider stated that Newcastle are planning to revive their interest in Marc Guehi during the summer transfer window.
The Magpies tried multiple huge-money bids for the England international last year (2024) but failed to acquire the centre-back.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham are all poised to compete with Newcastle for Guehi.
