Brentford want Liverpool's Caoimhin Kelleher?

Brentford are reportedly interested in signing Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.

David Raya is currently Brentford's undisputed number one, featuring in all 35 of the club's Premier League games this season.

However, Raya's Brentford future is shrouded in uncertainty, with his contract set to expire in the summer of 2024.

The Spaniard has already rejected two new contract offers from the Bees, amid speculation that Man United could submit a bid this summer.

As a result, Brentford could sell the 27-year-old at the end of the season rather than risk losing him on a free transfer next year.

The Bees will reportedly entertain offers in the region of £35m for the Spain international, and a proportion of that fee is likely to go towards signing his replacement.

According to The Sun, Brentford have identified Kelleher as a potential option to take over from Raya if he does leave this summer.

Kelleher is highly thought of at Liverpool, but they would sanction a sale as a reward for his patience while being Alisson Becker's deputy.

The report claims that Brentford would have to present an offer between £10m to £12m to secure Kelleher's services in the summer transfer window.

Should they decide to move for the Republic of Ireland international, the Bees could face competition from Brighton & Hove Albion.

However, the Seagulls would have to offload Robert Sanchez, who has lost his place in the side to Jason Steele, before they can bring in a new goalkeeper.

Kelleher has featured in just three cup games this season, and he has had to settle for 20 appearances in his Liverpool career, keeping 10 clean sheets across those encounters.

The 24-year-old's most iconic moment in a Liverpool shirt took place in the 2021-22 EFL Cup final when he dispatched the winning spot kick in a penalty shootout against Chelsea.
