Mercato: A new Liverpool player in the sights of Saudi Arabia

While Liverpool have agreed with Brighton for the record transfer of Moisés Caicedo, the Ecuadorian midfielder has opted to join Chelsea.

New transfer window saga on the England side. After that of Harry Kane with Tottenham and Bayern Munich, it is now time for that of Moises Caicedo with Liverpool and Chelsea. The 21-year-old is turning the heads of both English clubs. Courted by Blues since last winter, the Ecuadorian environment had to engage with the Reds who offered 127 million euros to Brighton for a historic transfer.

Everything seemed to be complete for a medical examination this Friday for the player and a signing in stride for Liverpool, in search of reinforcement in the midfield following the departure of many players in this sector this summer. “I can confirm that we have an agreement with the club (Brighton)”, even declared Jürgen Klopp at a press conference this morning. But according to Fabrizio Romano, a new twist has occurred in this case.

He wants to join Chelsea

Despite the XXL offer of Reds and the Brighton deal, the Ecuadorian is keen to join Chelsea, according to the latest news. Caicedo has indeed informed Liverpool that he only wants to join Chelsea. He gave his word to Blues several weeks ago and intends to keep it. An agreement would even exist between the player and the London club since last May. And Chelsea will revise their offer upwards in order to reach an agreement with Brighton. Case to follow.
