Caoimhin Kelleher admits he would look outside of the Premier League in his bid to become a No.1.
Celtic are believed to be interested in the Republic of Ireland goalkeeper, who has mainly played as a back-up at Liverpool during his senior career.
He did get a run in the side under Jurgen Klopp last season after Alisson sustained an injury.
And the 25-year-old admits Klopp has told him to find a regular game somewhere for the benefit of his career.
Brendan Rodgers is a huge admirer of the Irishman.
And it seems a switch to Glasgow could well be on the cards if an offer materialises.
He told the media: “He had some nice words for me. I was with him for a number of years and he said ‘You became a brilliant goalkeeper in that time.’ He is going to follow my career wherever I go. He wants to see me playing and to be happy.
"The season I’ve had, I’ve played a lot of games and had that taste this season of being a number one. Whether that’s at Liverpool or elsewhere, that remains to be seen. My main focus at the moment is to be number one.

“Obviously I love playing for Ireland. A big ambition of mine is to be the number one here – obviously, that only comes hand in hand when I’m number one at the club as well. That plays a major part as well, in terms of helping my case to be Ireland number one.”
Asked if staying in the EPL was a priority of his, Kelleher gave hope to Celtic: "Obviously I don't know what is happening yet with Liverpool, but I am open to all options. Obviously if I do move everything has to be right.
"It has to be right for myself, and that could be in England or abroad. I have to make the right decision and it has to be a good fit for myself most importantly."
