LIVERPOOL keeper Caoimhin Kelleher is heading for a move if he wants to play first-team football.

Kelleher, 24, has waited for his chance at Anfield but could be on the way out as he looks for more game time.

The Kop will not loan him next season — despite a queue already forming — so he may have to be sold.

Liverpool do not want to lose Kelleher as he is a home-grown player and a key part of their squad.

However, they would also be fair to him if he decides it is time to leave.

His contract does not expire on Merseyside until the summer of 2026.

If he departs it could mean the Reds need to find a British keeper, who is willing to be second string, as a replacement.

Kelleher has featured 20 times for the first-team since coming through the youth ranks at the club.

The Irishman is back-up to Alisson having dislodged Adrian as second choice.

He has been part of Jurgen Klopp's squad that won the FA Cup, Champions League and Premier League.

However, Kelleher's most memorable moment came in the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea last season.

The game went to penalties and he scored the decisive spot-kick to win the shoot-out 11-10.

Kelleher has been capped nine times by Ireland, competing for the No1 spot with Southampton stopper Gavin Bazunu.
