Celtic named favourites to sign Liverpool player after request to leave next years january….

This summer, Celtic was connected to several Liverpool players, but none of them ended up being signed. Despite this, the Hoops continued to bolster their roster with several signings. In the just-closed transfer window, they added seven permanent players, and Alex Valle came on loan from FC Barcelona to challenge Greg Taylor for the left-back position.

Now that Kasper Schmeichel has joined the team during the summer, Celtics supporters must be quite pleased with the move. Even at 37 years old, the Denmark international appears to be the real deal because he has yet to give up a goal in league play.

However, that does not imply that he is a permanent fix for the gap in the posts. Caoimhin Kelleher, for example, could have been the one to fill that role. But despite all the exit rumours, and Liverpool signing Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia, the Irish international still finds himself at Anfield.

Whenever given a chance, Kelleher has impressed for Liverpool. But that has not been enough to earn him the starting role over Alisson.

Set to turn 26 years of age this November, Kelleher is at a point in his career when he needs to play regular first-team football. So, his desire to leave Liverpool is understandble.

Will Celtic make a move for him in the future? Only time shall tell. If the transfer fee makes sense for them, there is no reason not to. Kelleher could solve the club’s long-running issue of struggling to find a long-term goalkeeper. But Liverpool are believed to have already turned down significant offers for their backup option to Alisson in goal.
