Kelleher, 26, has been on the books at Liverpool since 2015 and has mainly been used as their back-up over recent years. He is under contract at Anfield until June 2026 but his long-term future on Merseyside is up in the air head into this summer.
As per GiveMeSport, he has emerged on the radar of the Whites. Daniel Farke has the chance to bolster his ranks when the new transfer window opens for business. TalkSPORT have also claimed recently that Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and AFC Bournemouth are admirers of the player so there will be plenty of competition for his signature.

He said in September last year, as per TNT Sports: “I’ve made it clear in the last few years that I want to go and be a No. 1 and play week in, week out. Sometimes from the outside looking in, it looks like (staying put at Anfield that’s 100% my decision but at times it’s not always in my hands. My ambition is clear that I think I’m good enough, and I want to go out and prove it.”
Leeds United’s chances of signing Kelleher will depend on what league they are in.
