David Lynch has named the minimal worth that Liverpool would seemingly search in the event that they’re to money in on Caoimhin Kelleher this summer time.
The Irishman has hinted in latest days that he’s prepared to maneuver on from Anfield to be able to set up himself as a first-choice goalkeeper elsewhere, having spent the previous few years as Alisson Becker’s quantity two.
The 25-year-old had his first extended spell within the workforce earlier this 12 months when the Brazilian was out injured for 2 months, however was swiftly benched as soon as the ex-AS Roma stopper regained health.
Talking on his eponymous YouTube channel, Lynch believes that Kelleher ‘will depart this summer time’ and is anticipating ‘huge curiosity’ within the Republic of Eire worldwide.
The journalist continued: “[Liverpool’s] stance is that they’re completely not within the temper to present Caoimhin Kelleher away, they usually’re anticipating presents north of £20m if they’re to promote him this summer time. For me that’s a justifiable stance.

Lynch is completely proper – £20m is the naked minimal that the Reds must be demanding for a goalkeeper who’s confirmed that he can excel at Premier League and European degree.
Contemplating that Michael Edwards brokered profitable gross sales for the likes of Jordon Ibe (£15m), Dominic Solanke (£19m) and Rhian Brewster (£23.5m) prior to now – none of whom had anyplace close to the identical affect at Anfield that Kelleher has made – the membership’s CEO of Soccer received’t stand for the Irishman being offered for lower than his true worth.
If that is the summer time that the 25-year-old leaves Liverpool, then FSG merely should get a correct switch payment for a participant who richly deserves the possibility to be a transparent first-choice ‘keeper within the English prime flight.
