Caoimhin Kelleher has hinted that he might soon seek to leave Liverpool.

Kelleher has established himself as second-choice goalkeeper at Anfield behind Alisson but also made no secret of a desire for regular game time.

The Reds are understood to have rejected approaches from several clubs for the Republic of Ireland international, 25, during the previous transfer window.

But the recent signing of Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will arrive next summer, was a source of frustration to Kelleher’s prospects.

He said: “I made it clear in the last few years, I want to go be a No 1 and play week in, week out.

“The club made the decision to get another goalkeeper. From the outside looking in, it looks like they have made a decision to go in another direction.

“My ambition has always been clear the last few seasons that I want to be a No 1, playing week in week out.

“Sometimes from the outside looking in, it looks like it is 100% my decision.

“But at times it is not always in my hands.”
