Chelsea Pursues Goalkeeper Kelleher for £35m

Chelsea is reportedly preparing to meet Liverpool's £35 million valuation for goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, who has impressed while filling in for injured Alisson. Kelleher, who desires more first-team opportunities, is expected to drop to third-choice once Alisson returns, prompting his potential departure from Anfield. Despite competition from Serie A clubs Napoli and Juventus, Kelleher prefers a move to the Premier League. Meanwhile, Chelsea is also targeting forwards, having made offers for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo and Lyon's Rayan Cherki, as they seek to bolster their attacking options after a strong start to the season under manager Enzo Maresca. Both players are seen as crucial reinforcements, given Chelsea's ongoing struggles to find a reliable goal-scorer. Additionally, Manchester United and Liverpool are competing for Christian Pulisic, now at AC Milan, who has revived his career with notable performances this season, commanding a price of £54 million.
