After an incredibly remarkable stint with the Hornets, Joe Hart has decided to hang up his boots, and Celtic have known about this decision for a while. However, with competition as fierce as ever, it hasn’t gotten any easier for Rodgers and his hiring team to find a replacement.
With Alisson Becker at Anfield, Kelleher has been linked to Celtic in recent months, but there is no indication that he will start at Anfield. However, the Daily Mail has now revealed that Liverpool is willing to pay up to £35 million to let go of its backup goalkeeper, thereby killing the Hoops’ hopes of acquiring the Ireland international.
Earlier this summer, Kelleher made the following statement regarding Liverpool, the departure of Jurgen Klopp, and his own future: “He (Klopp) had some nice words for me.” “You became a brilliant goalkeeper in that time,” he stated after I had worked with him for a lot of years. He will travel with me wherever my work takes me. He wants to be happy and see me having fun.
This season, I’ve played a lot of games and experienced what it’s like to be at the top. It is unclear where that might occur—at Liverpool or someplace else. Being the best is currently my primary goal. I adore playing for Ireland, obviously. Being the best here is one of my biggest goals, but that obviously only works if I’m the best at the club as well. That is also a significant factor in supporting my claim to be the best in Ireland.
“Obviously, I don’t know what is going on with Liverpool yet, but I am open to all options,” he continued. Of course, everything needs to be perfect if I relocate. It needs to be ideal for me, which can mean traveling outside of England. Most importantly, I need to make the proper choice and make sure it fits with who I am.”
