Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian 'signs new Anfield deal' with Caoimhin Kelleher's future in doubt

Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian has reportedly signed a contract extension at Anfield with Caoimhin Kelleher's future uncertain.

In recent seasons Kelleher, 21, has replaced Adrian as the second-choice goalkeeper at Liverpool behind No 1, Alisson.

The Republic of Ireland international has largely been limited to appearances in the domestic cup competitions but has impressed when called upon, helping the club win the FA Cup and Carabao Cup last season.

Kelleher is under contract with Liverpool until 2026 but is being linked with a move away from Anfield this summer.

The Athletic claim Kelleher would 'jump at the chance' of becoming a No 1 at another Premier League club, with Tottenham, Brighton and Brentford potential suitors for the Irishman.

Republic of Ireland boss Stephen Kenny believes the time has come for Kelleher to leave Liverpool.

"Caoimhin is a very talented goalkeeper," Kenny said, at the announcement of his squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 double-header against Greece and Gibraltar this week.

"It looks like he'll be on the move this summer and he can only benefit [from that]. He needs to play games."

Adrian 'signs Liverpool contract extension'

With Kelleher's future uncertain, Liverpool appear to have tied down Adrian to a new deal.

The Spaniard, who joined Liverpool on a free transfer in 2019 after leaving West Ham, was out of contract at the end of the month.

But transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says he has penned a contract extension to keep him at Anfield for another season.

"Adrian has already signed new deal at Liverpool, contract extension completed and set to be unveiled soon," tweeted Romano.

"The GK will be part of Klopp's team next season."

Klopp, meanwhile, recently cooled talk of Kelleher leaving Anfield this summer.

Speaking last month, he said: "Kelleher? He has a contract. You want us to say goodbye just in case.

"No, I can't see him leaving. It would have to be an extraordinary offer for me to even start thinking about it, I have to say."
