“Leeds Set to Smash Transfer Market with Jaw-Dropping £20M+ Swoop for Trophy-Winning Superstar Desperate to Escape!”
Leeds United Still Linked with Liverpool Keeper Kelleher
Daniel Farke is eager to strengthen his squad with Premier League-proven talent, particularly in goal, as Illan Meslier has struggled to impress.
The French goalkeeper lost his starting spot at Elland Road following a series of high-profile mistakes that nearly derailed Leeds’ push for promotion.
A promising development could now help the Yorkshire side secure a major upgrade between the posts.
Leeds target Caoimhin Kelleher has expressed his desire to leave Liverpool in search of regular first-team football.
According to the Liverpool Echo (28 May), the Premier League champions are open to selling the Republic of Ireland international for offers exceeding £20 million.
Kelleher, who has served as Alisson’s understudy for several seasons, is now looking to establish himself as a first-choice goalkeeper elsewhere.
Speaking after Liverpool’s title-winning campaign concluded with a win over Crystal Palace (25 May), Kelleher told Optus Sport: “I think I’ve said it before as well that, like, I feel like I’m a number one and I feel like I’m good enough to play week in, week out.”
At 26, Kelleher would be an ideal addition for Leeds. He brings valuable Premier League experience and has proven himself in high-pressure situations.
His honours include two Carabao Cup wins and an FA Cup triumph, with Kelleher playing decisive roles in those victories.
He also contributed to Liverpool’s recent title win, making 10 league appearances as Alisson struggled with injuries.
In those matches, Kelleher impressed with four clean sheets and a 72.1% pass accuracy—highlighting his calmness under pressure and ability to play out from the back, a trait Farke’s side needs to develop to compete at the top level.
Securing Kelleher’s signature would be a major statement by the Whites, especially with interest also coming from West Ham and Brentford.
If Leeds can convince him to make the move to LS11, it would mark a huge step forward in their summer recruitment.
The 49ers ownership group must do everything possible to lure the Irishman to Yorkshire.
Kelleher has the potential to be a transformative signing—one that could solidify Leeds’ return to the Premier League and ensure long-term stability between the sticks.
