Liverpool are also working on potential sales and Kelleher, the Republic of Ireland international, is poised to join Brentford in his pursuit of regular first-team football.

Brentford have verbally agreed a package of around £18 million and Kelleher will replace Mark Flekken as the club’s new No 1 goalkeeper. Flekken has a deal agreed with Leverkusen and will leave Brentford after two seasons.

Harvey Elliot is also expected to leave Anfield this summer, with a number of Premier League clubs intent on signing him.

Elliot is in line to appear for Lee Carsley’s England Under-21s at this summer’s European Championship and could attract greater interest if he impresses in the competition.

Liverpool secured the league title in Slot’s first season, finishing 10 points ahead of nearest challengers Arsenal, and are determined to significantly strengthen their squad ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
