After Harry Kane’s transfer to Bayern Munich, here is a new saga that will finally come to an end. Moisés Caicedo, Chelsea’s top priority since the start of the transfer window, is expected to join the London club in the coming hours. If Liverpool was in the race for a time, the Ecuadorian had immediately cooled the Reds by wishing instead to head south-west of the English capital. On Sunday, the Blues also showed a pretty face in front of their audience, against Jürgen Klopp’s team. On arrival, an exciting draw (1-1), and a Caicedo approaching, above all.
Indeed, in the evening following the meeting, The Athletic announce that Chelsea have reached the long-awaited deal with Brighton for the transfer of the 21-year-old midfielder. The Seagulls accepted the offer of 115 million pounds (about 133 million euros) from the Blues. Moisés Caicedo should commit to the very long term with a contract that extends until 2031. The Ecuadorian would therefore become the most expensive player in the history of the Premier League and would form an exceptional pair with a Enzo Fernandez, already formidable against Liverpool on Sunday. After selling N’Golo Kanté, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount or Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mauricio Pochettino finally holds his midfield.
