If there is one thing Liverpool have been very careful about over the years, it has been the goalkeepers who have arrived at the institution, ensuring that they can deliver good results even when they do not have a regular place in Jurgen Klopp's starting eleven, with the incredible level of these elements being reflected in less demanding competitions such as the Carabao Cup, an English competition in which Caoinhín Kelleher was a star against Derby County from the penalty shootout.
The Irish-born penalty specialist has been a great player for Liverpool for some time now, with his 18 appearances an incredible footballing performance that has unfortunately been overshadowed by the neat skills of Brazil international Alisson Becker, possibly opting to leave the club and look for better opportunities to help him make the leap to Europe's top competitions.

With Kelleher undecided as to whether or not he should continue to fight for a chance at a starting berth, Spanish goalkeeper Adrian San Miguel's contract with the club will expire and it is not known if he will renew for a further period of time. Evidently this uncertainty has caused the Reds to look for replacement options and not have to depend only on the good performances of Alisson Becker.
The information that has been handled in recent days have pointed to the former Manchester United goalkeeper and also former Leicester City, Ron-Robert Zieler, as the main candidate to occupy a place in the Reds team, being a good option to buy for its low cost and good performance, having as a good addition the fact of not occupying a position as a foreigner and knowing the environment of the Premier League.
Although his age of 33 may prove to be the only handicap for this goalkeeper, the reality is that his long experience in European football makes him a great piece to remain an important reserve at Jurgen Klopp's disposal at all times. Having been capped six times for Germany between 2011 and 2015 as well as being part of the squad that lifted the World Cup title at Brazil 2014, Zieler could end his playing days with the Reds but not at Old Trafford.
