Chelsea is pushing to sign Moises Caicedo, Liverpool is slowly losing interest
Ben Jacobs, a sports reporter for CBS, tweeted that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is reluctant to sign Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo due to the player’s high asking price. According to the renowned reporter, Chelsea is actively pursuing a deal for Caicedo.
According to Jacobs, Liverpool considers Brighton’s asking price for the 21-year-old Ecuadorian international midfielder to be too expensive. This week, The Athletic claimed that Chelsea had their £55 million offer for the Brighton youth player rejected.
According to 90min, Arsenal, Newcastle United, Liverpool, and Manchester United are all prepared to make a move for Caicedo, a 21-year-old midfielder now playing for Brighton. Our research suggests that the Seagulls will not be parting with Moises Caicedo during the next January transfer window.
That Brighton has rejected a £55 million offer from Chelsea for the young player demonstrates how highly they regard him. Would the club willingly spend £80 million or more on a young player in January, after already spending that much on a player in the previous transfer window?
Chelsea is planning to put Brighton to the test with a higher offer for Moises Caicedo. The Blues, encouraged by their new owner Todd Boehly, have gone on a historic January signing frenzy, with PSV Eindhoven’s Noni Madueke becoming their sixth addition so far this month on Friday night. Potter has been unable to add to his roster in any way this month, but he sees Caicedo, an Ecuadorian international, as the perfect player to cover N’Golo Kante’s central midfield role while Kante is out for an extended period of time.
