Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is reportedly interested in bringing in a new goalkeeper during the summer transfer window.
Liverpool are eight points behind the Champions League qualification places and are having one of their worst domestic seasons in recent memory.
As a result, Klopp has already stated publicly that he needs to rebuild his first-team squad, with midfield being a priority.
Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are set to leave Anfield on free transfers at the end of their contracts, while James Milner may do the same.
That is not to imply that other positions will not be targeted, with new right-backs and centre-backs also on the list.
According to the Daily Mail, Klopp is also ready to tweak the dynamic of his competition between the sticks.
While Alisson Becker cannot claim to have had the best season of his Liverpool career, the Brazil international has generally done well despite some high-profile gaffes.
Nonetheless, it is a pretty much obvious that Caoimhin Kelleher, at 24, requires and desires regular first-team play somewhere.
The Republic of Ireland international has only made 20 senior appearances for Liverpool, keeping 10 clean sheets and helping the club win the EFL Cup final in February 2022.

Kelleher has many fans on Merseyside, including Klopp, but there is an understanding that he needs to continue his development away from Liverpool, at least for a season.
The amount of money that Liverpool and Klopp are willing to spend on a new goalkeeper may be determined by how much they commit to making their midfield stronger.
Despite perceived weaknesses in the Liverpool defense, the Reds have the fifth-best defensive record in the Premier League, conceding only six more goals than leaders Arsenal.
