Sorry if this has been asked a lot but if Kelleher is to leave, are there any keepers Liverpool are interested in? I saw we were linked with Bijlow at Feyenoord, but is there any others the club are interested in or would the just promote one of the younger keepers at the club. Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Adrien has been offered a new contract and Jaros has had a good period on loan. The club will also fear an offer from Michael Emanalo for Alisson. I am not aware of any approach from Liverpool for Bijlow but they have looked at:
Anthony Patterson (G) Arsenal and Liverpool have sent scouts to watch the Sunderland player.
Ron-Thorben Hoffmann (G) After turning down a proposal from Liverpool, where his agent has strong ties, to join as a second or third choice goalkeeper, the player decided to leave Budesliga 2 side Eintracht Braunschweig as a Free Agent and join Schalke.
Alex McCarthy (G) Out of contract at Southampton in the summer and accepts he will not be first choice any longer. Bournemouth, Newcastle and Liverpool have all considered him, with Liverpool having prior interest and likely needing two goalkeepers this summer - unless they opt to promote Vitezslav Jaros, then they only need a third choice.
Filip Jorgensen (G) Villareal are stll struggling financially and will sell at the right price. Manchester City and Liverpool are searching for a number 2 goalkeeper and have both sent scouts. Down the list for Chelsea. Seems an odd choice.}

If Alisson was to leave, would Giorgi Mamardashvili be an option?
I read he may move this summer with Newcastle among those interested.
Do you think he would be a good fit for the way we play or is there someone else, we should be tracking.
I'm sure the scouting team have a list of possible options, contingency plans.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool has shown no interest in Mamardashvili and the release clause is putting off those who are interested. Kobel would likely be a good fit.}

Jaros and Adrian enough cover.

There is no chance Allison will go to Saudi.
{Ed002's Note - Would you rather I did not tell you when there is interest?}

Thank you Ed002, I will take a look at Kobel.
Do you think he would be obtainable? I believe Dortmund will have some meaningful squad adjustments this summer. Perhaps they will need to raise some funds.
{Ed002's Note - Two clubs who enquired were told no.}

In the same way that there was no way Hendo would ever go to Saudi @Mark?

When Hendo was offered the Saudi wage his head turned quicker than the girl of the excorcist.

In fairness Henderson was likely told that he would not be an automatic starter so he either accepted a bit part as a bench warmer or could accept the move as the club had accepted the offer.
There is absolutely no way the same would happen with Allison as he’s still one of the best, if not the best, keepers playing in Europe, I think maybe only Oblak is better and that is fine margins. It would have to be an absolutely insane offer that broke the world transfer record to even make it a discussion.

Of course not ed. We all appreciate the info, I am just giving my opinion, I just couldn’t see anyway he goes to Saudi.

If Allison goes Kelleher becomes no 1. He wants to leave for first team football. We offer him that he stays.
