Liverpool have begin their business in the summer transfer window with the club expected to bring in some new players as well as let go of some players in the squad.
With Trent Alexander-Arnold’s move to Real Madrid announced, the Reds are now set to part ways with goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher. The Republic of Ireland international has made no secret of his desire to play regular football and is now close to joining Brentford.
Caoimhin Kelleher is poised to join Brentford in a deal that could reach £18million after he was given the go-ahead to pursue a permanent move away from Liverpool.
Kelleher, 26, has earned plenty of admirers as a result of his impressive performances for the Reds in the past. However, Alisson retaining his spot as Liverpool’s first-choice keeper and Giorgi Mamardashvili arriving at Anfield from Valencia in the upcoming transfer window, all parties have now agreed a permanent move is for the best.

Brentford’s current No.1, Mark Flekken, is set to complete a transfer of his own to Bayer Leverkusen – and that has paved the way for a move which should give Kelleher the regular football he craves.
Reports from Sky Sports claimsa deal has been agreed with the player set to undergo a medical on Monday.
Kelleher during Liverpool’s recent title celebrations confirmed he would be on the move this summer.
“Yeah, yeah definitely,” he said. “I’ve said it before as well, I feel like I’m good enough to be a No.1 and I feel like I’m good enough to play week in, week out and that’s what I’m looking to do.
“This season I was lucky enough to play a lot of games but it’s definitely something I’m looking at.”
