Liverpool’s summer transfer window is shaping up to be one of the most chaotic in some years for the Reds.
From three superstar players all heading towards free agency to Liverpool looking at strengthening five positions with new signings, it’s safe to say that Arne Slot will be a busy manager during this off-season overseeing a potential squad rebuild.
With only the Premier League to focus on with Liverpool having a 12-point lead over Arsenal, it’s no real surprise that some attention is already being taken away from the remaining games and onto the transfer market, where the Reds could make a number of serious moves.
Yet as well as big signings, some key players could depart in the window, and Leeds United have now set their eyes on one such name from Liverpool’s ranks.

Leeds United join race to sign Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher
According to GiveMeSport, the Whites have joined the race to sign Caoimhin Kelleher, with Liverpool expected to sell the Republic of Ireland international with Giorgi Mamardashvili set to return to Anfield to deputise for Alisson Becker.
With Kelleher potentially playing his last game for Liverpool on Sunday in the Carabao Cup final, the £30m-rated shot-stopper will be an alluring prospect for many top sides looking to sign a good Premier League goalkeeper in the summer.
And Championship-topping Leeds have now thrown their hat in the ring, with the Elland Road side expected tor return to the English top-flight having missed out on Premier League promotion last season in the play-offs.

Yet Leeds could already face a big problem in their attempt to sign Kelleher, with many sides already preparing to move for the Liverpool no. 2 in the summer transfer window, much to the amusement of the Reds.
Who else is interested in signing Caoimhin Kelleher this summer?
Kellher has been dubbed as by the likes of Shay Given the best backup keeper in the Premier League, with the 26-year-old showing this season against the likes of Real Madrid why he is too good to be sat on the bench for Liverpool.
And the Cork-born talent’s performances for Liverpool have already attracted some eyeballs, with AFC Bournemouth interested in signing Kelleher, a prospect that could be tempting if the Cherries manage to qualify for Europe.
Indeed, the battle to sign Kelleher is going to be a fascinating one for Liverpool fans and neutrals, and the Reds could expect to recoup a big profit from their academy graduate, with the money likely to go a long way in bringing in new signings.
