Kelleher Set to Leave Liverpool After a Decade, Joins Brentford in £18M Move
Caoimhin Kelleher is on the verge of completing his transfer from Liverpool to Brentford, following the successful completion of his medical on June 2, 2025. The Irish goalkeeper had spent ten years at Liverpool but struggled to secure consistent first-team appearances, largely due to the dominance of Alisson Becker as the club’s number one. Most of his opportunities came in domestic cup competitions, limiting his development at the top level.
Seeking more regular playing time, Kelleher had reportedly been open to a move since last season. With Liverpool preparing to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia as a potential new backup or competitor for Alisson, Kelleher's exit became increasingly likely. The transfer to Brentford is valued at £18 million, including performance-related add-ons, reflecting the high regard in which he is held despite his limited minutes at Anfield.
Brentford's current goalkeeper, Mark Flekken, is expected to depart for Bayer Leverkusen, which clears the path for Kelleher to become the club’s new first-choice keeper. This strategic move aligns with Brentford’s plan to reinforce their squad with experienced yet still-developing talent. Kelleher’s arrival is seen as a significant addition to a team looking to push further up the Premier League standings.
With the medical checks completed and all terms agreed upon, an official announcement is now the only step remaining. The transfer marks the end of a long chapter for Kelleher at Liverpool and the beginning of a new opportunity where he can finally establish himself as a regular starter in the Premier League.
