The Englishman bowed out of professional football with Celtic winning a Double. The former Man City stopper provided quality on the pitch and class off of it, meaning he will leave a substantial void to be filled. Kelleher was one of the players that was tipped to succeed Super Joe; however, it appears that his valuation will scupper any deal.
There had been increased speculation that the player would move on this summer with Liverpool’s scouts look at bringing in a replacement for Kelleher to work as understudy to Allison Becker. However, the Brazilian is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia and could be tempted by their riches.
Kelleher’s brother played in Celtic’s Academy and repots have suggested that he would be keen on a move. The big ‘keeper has 26 appearances for Liverpool this season propelling him back into the national team’s starting XI.
Kelleher could push for a loan deal but Liverpool boss Arne Slot will likely want to capitalise on his impressive season by selling him on as he faces a large rebuild following Jurgen Klopp’s departure.
