Caoimhin Kelleher's £18 million transfer to Brentford from Liverpool last summer has been clarified, with reports confirming that no buy-back clause was included in the deal. The Irish goalkeeper enjoyed a standout season with the Bees after his move from Anfield.
The transfer, which saw Kelleher leave Liverpool permanently, has been a subject of speculation regarding potential future terms. However, sources have confirmed that Liverpool did not negotiate a buy-back option, meaning the 25-year-old's future lies solely with Brentford.
Kelleher's impressive performances throughout the season have justified Brentford's investment, as he established himself as a key figure in the team. The lack of a buy-back clause gives Brentford full control over the player's long-term prospects.
Liverpool's decision to sell without a buy-back reflects their confidence in their current goalkeeping options, including Alisson Becker and Caoimhin Kelleher's replacement. The move has proven beneficial for all parties, with Kelleher thriving in regular first-team football.
