Liverpool have reportedly set their price for any potential suitors interested in agreeing a deal for Caoimhin Kelleher this summer.
The Republic of Ireland international has played nine times for the Reds this season (in all competitions) but has once again had to settle for a place behind Alisson Becker in Jurgen Klopp’s pecking order.
There is no shame as our number one is recognized as the best goalkeeper in the world, but there have recently been reports that Kelleher is looking for regular first-team football.
However, that’s something he’ll struggle to get on Merseyside any time soon, and a new report from the Daily Mail (via Rousing The Kop) claims Liverpool have set a £20m price tag for the 25-year-old. .

Our German tactician has previously rated our No. 62 as “absolutely exceptional” as the Cork-born talent often impresses when called upon.
Liverpool are believed to have identified Sunderland’s Anthony Patterson as the ideal replacement for Kelleher if they are to move away from the likes of Brighton and Brentford previously linked with a move for the Irishman.
Klopp explained in the summer that only an “extraordinary offer” would make him even consider selling the stopper, but if the stopper wants to push away, it seems £20m is the fee we would be looking at.
