Chelsea Eye Shock Move for Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher After Goalkeeper’s Summer Departure Admission
Chelsea are reportedly eyeing a move for Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, who has made it clear that he wants to leave the club in search of regular first-team football.
The 25-year-old Irishman, who has stepped in for the injured Alisson at Liverpool, has impressed with his performances, but with the arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia, his future at Anfield looks uncertain.
Kelleher’s desire to play week in and week out was voiced earlier this season during international duty with the Republic of Ireland.

He admitted that while Liverpool had rejected a few bids for him, he remains eager to secure a move where he can be the starting goalkeeper. This could make him an attractive target for clubs like Chelsea, especially given their current goalkeeper situation.

Chelsea, under Enzo Maresca, have started the 2024/25 season strong, and with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez performing well, the club’s interest in Kelleher has raised some questions.
However, reports from other sources suggest that Chelsea are content with their goalkeeping options. They reportedly have faith in Sanchez, who has made a solid start since joining from Brighton, as well as young talents like Filip Jorgensen and Mike Penders, who is set to join from Genk.
While Chelsea might be considering Kelleher as a backup option or long-term prospect, it’s unclear whether they will move forward with a bid for him, given their current goalkeeper depth.
Kelleher’s future will likely depend on his continued performances and whether he gets the opportunity to secure a starting role at a club where he can showcase his abilities more regularly.
Fabfrizio said via X that currently no talks going on between the clubs
