Liverpool news: FSG have no excuse with Jurgen Klopp in need of five summer transfers | Football | Sport

A backup goalkeeper

As much as Klopp enjoys having Caoimhin Kelleher as a adept backup option for Alisson Becker, the Northern Irishman has admitted he will consider his future in the summer after playing second fiddle at Anfield.

“Listen, I think we’ve obviously only just come back into the middle of the season. So we’ll just see what the season brings and then after that we’ll see, we’ll see what happens after that,” he said. “But I think at the moment, for now, I just have to be focused on trying to be ready for Liverpool.”

Those comments will not come as a surprise to Klopp, who has been happy to give Kelleher playing time in cup competitions whenever he can. But the German knows he will need to search for a suitable reserve goalkeeper – and as Manchester United proved with their loan move for Martin Dubravka or Bayern Munich’s £8m deal for Yann Sommer, it is no longer a cheap signing to make.
