Liverpool have been linked with a number of English-based free agents who can sign pre-contract agreements with the club from June 1
Liverpool’s 23/24 season is over, Jurgen Klopp’s nine-year reign has reached its end, and Arne Slot has officially been confirmed as the Reds’ new head coach.
Admittedly, such transfers have been rare at Anfield in recent years. Under Klopp, Liverpool signed just seven players on free transfers. In the market for a new centre-back with Matip now confirmed to be leaving at the end of his own deal, the Reds have been linked with both Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo and AFC Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly in recent months.
However, new sporting director Richard Hughes, having joined Liverpool from Bournemouth, knows Kelly well having played a vital role in bringing the defender to the Vitality Stadium in the first place. Clearly, he is a player that Hughes knows well and one that both Liverpool and their new sporting director have done their homework on over the years. He would also be best-placed to recommend the defender to the Reds if convinced he could be a successful signing at Anfield - or discourage them and instead lead a search elsewhere as the club weigh up centre-back targets.
While a departure for the Brazilian would open the door for the Republic of Ireland international to become Liverpool’s new number one, at this point you would suspect that it is Kelleher who is more likely to move on, in search of first team football, than Alisson. The one-time England international has finished the season strongly with the Saints since regaining his place at the expense of the injured Gavin Bazunu, and is looked to win promotion back to the Premier League via the play-offs with the South Coast club.
