Leeds United are exploring a move for a Premier League goalkeeper with top-flight and European experience, as Daniel Farke\u2019s side begin to reshape their squad ahead of a long-awaited Premier League return.<\/p>\n
Leeds<\/strong><\/a> are expected to be active in the market this summer, with the goalkeeper position high on their list of priorities after securing automatic promotion from the Championship with a 100-point campaign.<\/p>\n Despite that success, questions remain about the club\u2019s goalkeeping depth and quality. Illan Meslier<\/strong><\/a>, once considered among the most promising young stoppers in Europe, endured a turbulent season at Elland Road, eventually losing his place to Karl Darlow after a string of high-profile errors.<\/p>\n Meslier\u2019s struggles, particularly in dealing with crosses and set-pieces, were a recurring issue throughout the season. His form dipped alarmingly in the final third of the campaign, prompting Farke<\/strong><\/a> to make a change to tighten up at the back during the run-in.<\/p>\n That change paid off, but Leeds\u2019 promotion means reinforcements are still required, and the club\u2019s hierarchy is now said to be pursuing a permanent deal for a Premier League keeper with a proven record at the highest level.<\/p>\n The move comes as Liverpool<\/strong><\/a> prepare to part ways with Caoimhin Kelleher<\/strong><\/a> ahead of Giorgi Mamardashvili becoming a Reds player on July 1. A \u00a329 million deal was agreed with Valencia last summer, and the 24-year-old is expected to immediately challenge Alisson Becker for the number one shirt next season.<\/p>\n With Kelleher having long made clear his ambition to be a first-choice goalkeeper, the arrival of Mamardashvili will all but confirm his Anfield exit. According to <\/strong>Leeds Live<\/strong><\/a>, the Whites have been given the \u2018green light\u2019.<\/p>\n MORE LEEDS COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 Speaking earlier in the season, the Republic of Ireland international said: \u201cMy ambition is to go out and play and be a number one. I\u2019ve made it clear in the last few years that I want to go and be a number one and play week in, week out.<\/p>\n \u201cThe club\u2019s made that decision to get another goalkeeper, and so, from the outside looking in, it looks like they\u2019ve decided to go in a different direction now.\u201d<\/p>\n
