Liverpool is willing to offer a substantial £50million and goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher to Newcastle United in exchange for playmaker Anthony Gordon, according to an exclusive report by TEAMtalk. The Reds value Gordon at £72million and are keen to sign him this summer, highlighting their determination to strengthen their squad.
Kelleher, 25, has been Liverpool's second-choice goalkeeper for years, and whenever given the chance, he has performed well. However, he is seeking regular playing time and is no longer content with warming the bench behind Alisson. He is valued at £22million and may be open to joining Newcastle, where Nick Pope is the first-choice goalkeeper.
Newcastle has decided to release former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius, whose contract expires today. Karius's departure creates a vacancy in the Magpies' goalkeeping department, which Kelleher could potentially fill. If Kelleher joins Newcastle, Liverpool will need to find a replacement and has identified Valencia's Giorgi Mamardashvili as a target.
Gordon, on the other hand, is reportedly interested in joining Liverpool, and the deal could be finalized soon. The 22-year-old playmaker has impressed at Newcastle, and his creativity and skill on the pitch would be a valuable addition to Liverpool's squad.
This transfer saga is ongoing, and we will keep you updated on the latest developments. Will Kelleher make the move to Tyneside? Will Gordon join the Reds? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain - this transfer window promises to be exciting!
