Brentford make move for Kelleher
Caoimhin Kelleher played an instrumental role in Liverpool's title-winning campaign, having guarded the Reds' net in 10 Premier League games in the absence of Alisson Becker. However, the Brazilian remains Arne Slot's first-choice option, and the Republic of Ireland goalkeeper is no longer prepared to spend another season as his understudy.
According to Liverpool Echo, Kelleher has made clear his desire to depart Anfield, sparking interest from Brentford, who have approached the Merseyside outfit over a summer transfer. Liverpool value the 26-year-old at £20million. West Ham United and Leeds United have also shown interest in him. Whispers Rating: 3.5/5

Liverpool face late competition for Wirtz
Florian Wirtz is perhaps the most sought-after name heading into the summer transfer window. In recent days, multiple reports have suggested Liverpool are in the pole position to sign the Leverkusen prodigy after Manchester City withdrew from the race. But now, there's new competition for the Reds.
Spanish publication AS report Real Madrid are pushing to sign Wirtz following the appointment of his former manager Xabi Alonso at Santiago Bernabeu. Their successful history in Germany could lure Wirtz to the Spanish capital, but it remains unclear if Los Blancos are in a position to spend north of £100million on an attacker amid their aim to revamp their backline.
