If Celtic wish to sign Caoimhin Kelleher from Liverpool, they will have to pay a Scottish transfer record amount, according to Football Insider.
On the most recent episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior journalist Pete O’Rourke reported that Liverpool’s asking price of £25-30 million for the 25-year-old would likely be ‘too pricey’ for Celtic.
Kelleher is anticipated to leave in the near future, with Celtic keen to sign the Republic of Ireland international, albeit a deal appears improbable at the current price.
The custodian stated a desire to leave Anfield this summer in search of more first-team opportunities, which have been limited with Alisson Becker as the club’s first choice.
Liverpool’s purchase of Georgia international Giorgi Mamardashvili in the summer transfer window is expected to push Kelleher lower down the pecking order when he returns from loan at the conclusion of the season.

Brendan Rodgers’ team signed experienced custodian Kasper Schmeichel in the summer to replace Joe Hart after the former England international retired.
He has since played every minute for Celtic this season, keeping eight clean sheets while surrendering only three goals in the Scottish Premier League.
