Liverpool began a new era this summer, but opted not to follow up the arrival of manager Arne Slot with a host of new players.

Just one new face has joined the Reds squad for the 2024/25 campaign, with forward Federico Chiesa signing in a £10million deal from Juventus, while youngsters Sepp van den Berg and Fabio Carvalho were sold to Brentford for fees of £25million and £27.5million respectively.

The club did do one more deal, which was the agreement to bring Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili to Anfield next summer for a fee which could rise to £29million.

The Georgian international has been earmarked as the long-term successor to Alisson Becker, but another of the club’s goalkeepers believes the writing is on the wall for his first-team hopes and wants to leave the club.

Caoimhin Kelleher has been at Liverpool since joining the club’s academy in 2015 and has made 47 appearances in all competitions since his first-team debut in the 2019/20 campaign, proving himself to be a worthy deputy to Alisson.

“I’ve made it clear in the last few years that I want to go and be a number one and play week in, week out,” Kelleher said while on international duty with Ireland.
