According to a report, Moises Caicedo is anticipated to join Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea despite interest from Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
Midfielder Moises Caicedo of Brighton and Hove Albion is “expected to join Chelsea” during the summer transfer window, according to The Athletic.
The assertion was made in the article while it was talking about Liverpool’s interest in the 21-year-old midfielder from Ecuador.
The Merseyside club is looking for Fabinho’s replacement.
Defensive midfielder for Brazil is about to sign a £40 million deal to join Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.
The 21-year-old “is not viewed as a serious option with the Brighton midfielder expected to join Chelsea,” according to The Athletic, even though Liverpool like Caicedo.
Chelsea is likely to sign Moises Caicedo, a midfielder for Brighton and Hove Albion.
In the upcoming days and weeks, Moises Caicedo, in our opinion, will become a member of the Chelsea team.
Rudy Galetti, an Italian journalist, claimed on Twitter that a deal between Chelsea and Brighton is essentially just £10 million away.
The youngster has already agreed to personal terms with the Blues and is a “fantastic” player, according to former Liverpool star John Barnes.
Caicedo has also been associated with Arsenal.
The Gunners recently acquired Declan Rice from West Ham United, so they might not want to spend another £100 million on a midfielder at this time.
Caicedo represented Brighton in the Premier League last year with 34 starts and three substitute appearances.
In those contests, the 21-year-old had one goal and one assist.
Although the Ecuadorian has a lot of potential and had a successful season in the Premier League last year, it is important to note that he has only had one successful Premier League season.
Even with add-ons, we think that paying £100 million is excessive.
