ON the outskirts of Munich, at the offices of the ROOF football agency – ‘Representatives of Outstanding Footballers’ – a draft player agreement for Caoimhín Kelleher will have already been written.

The proposal document will set out the terms and conditions, including sign-on fee, salary and bonuses, which will form the template for the many discussions that will take place with the goalkeeper’s list of suitors, once the transfer window opens on June 1.
