Celtic Park may soon welcome Liverpool goalkeeper Caiomhin Kelleher after his remarkable performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League. In a tense match where his team was leading 1-0, the Irish goalkeeper made a crucial penalty save against Kylian Mbappe, denying the Spanish champions an equalizer. This impressive display has sparked speculation about Kelleher’s future, as he aims for a regular starting position, especially with Alisson’s injury.
Due to his standout performance, the odds of Kelleher moving to Celtic have increased from 11/2 to 5/1, according to Lee Astley, a spokesperson for TG Casino. The interest from Celtic in acquiring Kelleher’s services has grown, making them a strong contender in the January transfer window. Other potential destinations for Kelleher include Wolves at 6/1 and Leeds United at 7/1.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has emphasized that Alisson will resume his role as the first-choice goalkeeper once he has recovered from his hamstring injury. In the meantime, Kelleher has been a reliable presence for the team, maintaining a clean sheet in three Champions League matches and saving all 13 shots on target he has faced this season.
Kelleher’s outstanding performance against Real Madrid has not only caught the attention of fans and pundits but has also raised speculation about his future in the upcoming transfer window. As he continues to impress in Alisson’s absence, the likelihood of a move to Celtic appears to be gaining momentum, with increasing odds reflecting the growing interest in his services. Fans will be eagerly watching to see where Kelleher’s talents will take him next as he establishes himself as a formidable goalkeeper in top-tier competitions.
