Bournemouth are said to be keen on Kelleher but Chelsea might also be interested, apparently. Iām surprised that Utd havenāt been linked to him what with Onana being a bit crap.
Bournemouth are leading the race to sign Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, 26, from Liverpool . (Talksport)

Good. Make him a makeweight in the Kerkez deal

Hopefully the amount of cash, on top of Kelleher, is modest. There are several suitors for Kelleher. Bournemouth canāt low ball us on the fee. Kelleher and 15M max and jobs a good āun. I would love to see Kerkez signed. He has stamina for days, pace, string, and since Iāve been looking at him a bit more Iāve seen some assists and decent attacking play. He can improve further and we really should get it done.
Itās a bit galling to see Real Madrid circling for Huijsen. I had in mind we might see a Bournemouth double swoop. Still might, nothing is done until itās done.

Iām so bad at typing on an iPad screen 
But a little soothing music is another thing that Kerkez lad can do. Sign him up!

I donāt think weāll get much for Kelleher and I also doubt whether that would be part of a deal for a Bournemouth player coming here. Maybe it changes fees in separate deals, but not by much.
Still a lot of unanswered question first and foremost who leaves, but in terms of player sales who will still have a contract this summer, off the top of my head, I think our aim might be to earn around Ā£100m or more.

If it is true that they are interested in Huijsen it is really starting to be pretty annoying, every time we want a player they gazump us. Have we pissed in their coffee or something!
Heās a quality keeper, tried and tested in the PL and at an ideal age. He should be worth 30m to any multitude of teams who see how much a below par keeper can cost them.
Kelleher plus 10m being enough to fund Kerkez sounds plausible, imho.

Weāll see, heās got a year left on his deal. Best we got so far (which we know of) was Ā£8.5m from Forest in January 2024. They might use other recent GK transfers to pump up the price, but I donāt expect such a fee. The peak moment to do the best business deal financial wise is gone. I think it was two summers ago, a lot of PL sides which were realistic for him opted for other goalies. A good question was why not for Kelleher. But the good part of it is that we had a good goalkeeper for a bit longer. So itās not all about money and numbers. Iām still very happy how we do stuff in the GK department: selection, training, transfers, etc.

The elite potential talent pool is small, and we have to compete with all the big teams. Huijsen is in Spain U21, and Real Madrid has been actively looking for a new center-back for a while. Iād be surprised if they hadnāt been following him for a long time already.

Called up to Spainās senior squad for the first time, replacing the injured Martinez.

Iāve been following Delapās career for about 6 years now - heās not good enough to play at the elite level in my opinion.

I havenāt paid much attention to him. My vague impression is that he puts in a lot of effort but heās quite clumsy.
