Brentford Sign Kelleher From Liverpool for £18m

Brentford have signed goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher from Liverpool for an initial £12.5 million, potentially rising to £18 million with add-ons, as Kelleher sought regular first-team football after serving as backup to Alisson. The transfer follows Brentford's sale of their previous No. 1 goalkeeper, Mark Flekken, to Bayer Leverkusen for €10 million. Despite interest from West Ham and Leeds, Brentford secured the Irish international as their new first-choice goalkeeper. Liverpool's acquisition of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia further limited Kelleher's prospects at Anfield. Kelleher's ambition to be a starting goalkeeper played a key role in his decision to leave. Liverpool are actively reshaping their squad and continue to secure strong fees for outgoing players.
