Celtic believe they have a good chance of landing goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher this summer from Liverpool.
Kelleher kept the Reds in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley before they went on to beat Chelsea in extra-time on Sunday, but his future at Anfield is up in the air.
Celtic believe the keeper is open-minded about a move in the summer window and are hopeful they can tempt the 25-year-old into a move.
Intentions of becoming Republic of Ireland No. 1 could be a great driving force behind Celtic being the perfect next club for Kelleher.

However, the need for regular first-team football is also going to be on the table as Celtic look for a new first-choice goalkeeper next season, following Joe Hart’s decision to retire at the end of the season.
Kelleher has done a good job playing back-up to Alisson at Liverpool, but there is a feeling he sees this summer as the perfect time to move on as the club undergoes changes with Jurgen Klopp exiting.
Early indications suggest that he is open to the prospect of joining Celtic, and the terms of a transfer are going to be more thoroughly explored in the coming months. Sources close to Celtic describe there being a “good chance” of finding an agreement.
Celtic find themselves behind rivals Rangers in the Scottish Premiership and their finishing position could have a big effect on the Celtic transfer news coming out of the club this summer.
