Liverpool REVEAL Caoimhin Kelleher transfer stance after Champions League HEROICS

Liverpool are bracing for the departure of one of their Champions League heroes.

The Reds have had an exceptional start to their European campaign winning all three matches and currently sit second in the table. Arne Slot's side have also only conceded one goal so far.

One player who has been key to that success is Caoimhin Kelleher. The Irish keeper has certainly established himself a worthy replacement in recent seasons and has always been confident stepping into Alisson Becker's shoes.

With Alisson sidelined until after the November international break, Kelleher has once again proved his worth, showcasing yet another exceptional performance against RB Leipzig.

He was Liverpool's hero on the night recording some sensational saves in order to ensure Liverpool continued its unbeaten start in the competition.

Caoimhin Kelleher expected to leave

It's no secret that the 26-year-old keeper wanted to leave Anfield in the summer. However, the Reds rejected offers from Nottingham Forest determined to keep the player on Merseyside.

With the introduction of Giorgi Mamardashvili next summer, Kelleher is expected to once again push for a move.

Speaking to the Anfield Agenda, journalist David Lynch would be surprised if the Irishman doesn't leave.

"I still lean towards the idea that Kelleher will go" said Lynch. "I'd be really surprised, the fact he continues to perform at this level surely clubs are not mad enough to keep watching this and not thinking its worth at least paying £25m to get him out of Liverpool.

"Surely that happens next season and he gets the move that he absolutely deserves."

The future of Liverpool's goalkeeping setup

Lynch also believes the future of the club's goalkeeping setup could be up in the air next summer. "There is a lot up in the air, Liverpool have got a lot of options in how this plays out" added Lynch.

"The expectation on their side is that Kelleher will leave next summer. But beyond that, they've got the choice to send Mamardashvili out on loan again if Alisson doesn't want to go to Saudi yet.

"They've got the opportunity to keep Alisson at the club and say you can go to Saudi the year after that and bring Mamardashvili in for a year where he can acclimatise and be the number two and compete for that role. That is a possibility for them that they're not ruling out."
