A Liverpool star is reportedly in \u2018advanced talks\u2019 to jump ship to another Premier League side, who are about to sell one of their most important assets.<\/p>\n
The Reds won the Premier League for the second time this season. Goalkeeping duties were split for part of the triumphant campaign.<\/p>\n
While usual No.1 Alisson played 28 out of 38 league games, he had a hamstring injury early in the season, meaning Caoimhin Kelleher<\/strong><\/a> was able to play 10 games.<\/p>\n The Irishman has always impressed when deputising for Alisson, but knows whenever he\u2019s available, the Brazilian will start instead of him in the Liverpool<\/strong><\/a> net. The signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will join properly in the summer, further complicates things for Kelleher.<\/p>\n He has long suggested he wants to be a No.1, and reiterated that after the title win<\/strong><\/a>, stating: \u201cI think I\u2019ve said it before as well that like, I feel like I\u2019m a number one and I feel like I\u2019m good enough to play week in, week out.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019m looking to do. Obviously this season I was lucky enough to play a lot of games\u2026 but yeah, definitely something I\u2019m looking at.\u201d<\/p>\n Brentford jumped on the chance to give Kelleher that opportunity after the season, as Mark Flekken \u2013 who has played 77 games for the Bees in two seasons there \u2013 began negotiating with Bayer Leverkusen.<\/p>\n Now, it\u2019s reported by multiple outlets that Flekken has agreed to join Leverkusen, in a deal worth in the region of \u00a311million.<\/p>\n As a result, Sky Sports<\/a> states Brentford are \u2018in advanced talks\u2019 with Liverpool for Kelleher. They state though Flekken\u2019s transfer away is agreed, the transfer will not go ahead until they have agreed a deal to sign his replacement.<\/p>\n The report states Liverpool value Kelleher around \u00a320million, so while Brentford will pay more than what they will receive for Flekken, it won\u2019t be by much, with only a \u00a39million swing.<\/p>\n MORE ON LIVERPOOL FROM F365: There has been interest in the Liverpool man from Leeds and West Ham, but Brentford are now said to be in \u2018pole position\u2019 and their good relationship with the Reds should help them.<\/p>\n As such, it looks like Kelleher will soon get his chance as a No.1 goalkeeper, and in a Premier League side who finished 10th this season, and conceded 57 goals, meaning he\u2019ll be able to show his worth in trying to keep that number down next term.<\/p>\n
