Liverpool player simply has to leave after brutal Arne Slot decision

 

Liverpool have been doing extremely well in the Premier League and Champions League this season.

Mohamed Salah has been scoring goals for fun, while Virgil van Dijk has been a defensive rock. Caoimhin Kelleher has also stepped up in recent weeks.

The Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper has been so good between the posts that Liverpool have not missed Alisson.

Caoimhin Kelleher dropped against Girona

Prior to Liverpool’s Champions League game at Girona on Tuesday evening, Alisson had missed 11 games in all competitions with a hamstring injury.

Kelleher stepped in for the Brazil international goalkeeper and was superb, making important saves and playing a starring role against Real Madrid.

However, as soon as Alisson recovered his full fitness, Slot dropped Kelleher to the bench.

Why Kelleher should leave Liverpool

There has been speculation about Kelleher’s future for a while now.

Liverpool have a deal in place with Valencia to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili next summer, which leaves Kelleher in limbo.

Slot’s decision on Tuesday evening is a clear indication to  Kelleher that he will never be the number-one goalkeeper for Liverpool.

If the Irish international wants to advance his career and play every week, he will have to leave.

Liverpool are not going to sell Kelleher in the middle of the season, but he must move on next summer.
