The buzz around this potential move was first ignited by SunSport last September, pinpointing Brendan Rodgers’ eagerness to rope in the Republic of Ireland international. This strategic move is envisioned as a successor plan for the veteran Joe Hart, whose tenure with the champions is speculated to draw to a close at the end of the current season.
