The Republic of Ireland international will replace Mark Flekken who is joining Bayer Leverkusen for £9million.

Kelleher, 26, only had one year left on contract and Liverpool were looking for around £20m for the dependable stopper who also had interest from West Ham, Leeds and Bournemouth.

Brentford have been interested in Kelleher since before they signed Flekken but Liverpool have only been open to selling him since securing Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia last summer.

Kelleher wants to compete for a starting place and the arrival of Mamardashvili means it is the Georgian who will be battling with Alisson next season.

Republic of Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrimsson spoke openly about wanting Kelleher to leave Anfield in search of regular minutes as a first-choice goalkeeper elsewhere.

Kelleher, capped 22 times for his country already, secured his second Premier League title with the Reds this season but only started 10 games with Alisson ahead of him in the pecking order.

Flekken will link up with Erik ten Hag at Leverkusen and the fee will rise to £11m with add ons.
