Aston Villa have expressed interest in signing Liverpool’s second-choice goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, as uncertainty grows over the future of Emi Martinez. Martinez appeared emotional during Villa’s 2-0 win over Tottenham, sparking speculation of a farewell.
Manchester United, Barcelona, and Saudi Pro League clubs are reportedly monitoring the Argentine, making the search for a new No. 1 a summer priority for Unai Emery. Kelleher, 26, is valued at £30 million and eager for regular first-team football after limited opportunities behind Alisson at Anfield. The Irish international has impressed with eight clean sheets in 25 Premier League appearances.
Villa is also keeping tabs on Espanyol’s Joan Garcia, though competition from clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United could make securing the Spaniard more difficult. With Georgia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili set to join Liverpool, Kelleher could fall to third-choice under new manager Arne Slot. He is believed to prefer staying in the Premier League, making Villa a compelling option, especially if they qualify for the Champions League.
