Chelsea and Liverpool goaded over Moises Caicedo as Brighton ‘expectation’ made clear

Moises Caicedo remains a target for Chelsea and continues to be linked with a move to Liverpool, but Brighton are holding firm on their star midfielder who they value at £105million

Brighton are goading Chelsea and Liverpool into a bidding war for in-demand midfielder Moises Caicedo.

Caicedo, 21, is high on Chelsea’s list of priorities in the final month of the summer transfer window, while Liverpool continue to be linked with the Ecuadorian in their hunt for a new midfielder. But just like in January when Brighton managed to keep hold of him, the Seagulls currently expect him to stay, despite added interest from Saudi Arabia.

That’s because no one has shown interest in meeting their lofty valuation, which is the same price as Arsenal paid for West Ham captain Declan Rice earlier this summer. According to Sky Sports, Brighton don’t anticipate receiving a £105m offer before deadline day on September 1 and have been impressed with how Caicedo has dealt with the speculation.

Little over seven months ago, the 21-year-old handed in a transfer request amid interest from Chelsea and Arsenal, but his club stood firm and promptly got him to sign a new four-and-a-half year contract. Brighton are about to embark on their first ever campaign as a Europa League club and Caicedo wants to continue being a key player for influential boss Roberto de Zerbi.
