Stephen Kenny is convinced that Caoimhín Kelleher will leave Liverpool this summer.
The Ireland goalkeeper started the 4-4 draw with Southampton on the final day of the season.
But that was only his fourth appearance of the season, and his first in the Premier League.

Kelleher played more games for Ireland - six - in the last year than he did for his club and Kenny expects he will be moving on.
“It looks like he'll be on the move this summer, and it can only benefit him because he needs to play games,” said the Ireland boss today.
“Obviously he's not started games this year and it's been a problem for him. He's very, very talented.
“It's hard to leave Liverpool, it's such an iconic club, but he's not so young now. He's 24 and he needs to play and he knows that.
“We've spoken regularly in the last year and he knows that himself. He knew that earlier in the season and he's been in dialogue with Liverpool about that for a long time.
“It most likely will happen, I think, in the summer. I would fully expect that.”
Kelleher is valued at around £30 million and a decision will be made on whether to sell or loan him out.
