Liverpool is willing to sell Kelleh over 20 million pounds

Football

Ball Push Network, May 28, The Liverpool Echo disclosed the transfer trends of Reds goalkeeper Kellech. The 26-year-old Irishman clearly seeks more opportunities to play. Liverpool marked him with a transfer fee of more than 20 million pounds, causing competition among many teams such as Rentford and West Ham. A goalkeeper battle has quietly heated up.

As Alisson's many years of substitute, Kellehe ushered in a "career breakthrough season" this season - 11 starts in both league and FA Cup, and 3 substitutes in the Premier League, especially in the fourth round of the FA Cup, which helped Liverpool advance, showing the "big heart" characteristics. Data shows that his performance of 3.2 saves per game and a 78% pass success rate has reached the level of the main goalkeeper of the Premier League mid-range team. "I think I am the No. 1 goalkeeper and I am eager to play every week." Kellech's statement at the championship celebration became a signal flare that opened the transfer window.

Brentford took the lead in launching the action. After the main goalkeeper Fleken joined Leverkusen, the Bees urgently needed to find the "Guardian of the Goal Line". Coach Thomas Frank favors Kellech's "feet ability" (28.3 short passes per game, 85% success rate), believing that it is suitable for the team's tactical system of "starting attacks from goalkeepers". However, the intervention of West Ham, Leeds United and other teams has complicated the transaction - the Hammer Gang needs to find a stand-in for Areola, while the newly promoted Leeds United hopes to use "immediate goalkeepers" to consolidate their Premier League qualifications, and competition from multiple parties may push up the transfer quotation.

Liverpool's "20 million pounds +" asking price is not a big talk in the Lions: referring to the market conditions of goalkeepers of the same age group, Henderson (25) of Nottingham Forest has a transfer fee of 21 million pounds, Neto (26) of Bournemouth is worth 18 million pounds, and Kellech's "two-goal experience + national team main identity" (Ireland has 10 starts in the last 12 games) gives it a premium space. Clubs prefer to "sell this summer" rather than entering the contract year, avoiding repeating the mistakes of Shaqiri (free-departure in 2020).

For Kelleher, the key to choosing the next company lies in "main position guarantee". Although Brentford promised a seat on the "No. 1 goalkeeper", he had to face the competition from former Manchester City goalkeeper Stephen; West Ham may use a "rotating strategy" to balance European games and leagues. As his agent said: "This is not a money-driven decision, but a key turning point in his career."

With Aston Villa, Bournemouth and other teams joining the battle, this goalkeeper's transfer soap opera may run through the entire summer window. When Kelleher witnessed the Premier League championship trophy on the bench at Anfield, he might have realized: it's time to go to the center of his own stage. While Liverpool is reaping transfer funds, it will also accelerate the inspection of new substitute goalkeepers - after all, Allison's "Backup Plan" also needs to be prepared for the future.
