Liverpool vs Chelsea: ‘Swing’ in Moises Caicedo saga with £100m transfer ‘close’ to completion

Posted Friday, August 11, 2023 by 101 GREAT GOALS

A major update in the ongoing saga surrounding the future of Brighton & Hove Albion star Moises Caicedo has been revealed late on Thursday night.

This comes amid mounting claims that the in-demand midfielder is, at long last, on the verge of sealing a move away from the Amex.

His alleged destination, however, is not Chelsea, the long-term favourites for his signature.

Instead, Caicedo, it is claimed, is inching towards a big-money move to Premier League rivals Liverpool.

As per a report from Alex Crook of talkSPORT, regarded as reliable when it comes to news involving Brighton:

'Liverpool [are] close to agreeing deal in excess of £100m for Moisés Caicedo.'

Should talks continue along their current trajectory, the 21-year-old could even undergo his medical tests on Merseyside as early as Friday.

Such news has since been backed by Liverpool ITK Melissa Reddy, too, who points towards a 'swing' in Liverpool's favour in the race for Caicedo.

Significantly, though, it is also noted that Chelsea, for their part, 'are not out of the equation yet'.

Could another 'swing' yet be in store?

Understand Moises Caicedo is open to joining Liverpool in what is expected to be a British record transfer fee if a move goes through. Sources say there has been a swing in the deal in favour of the Merseysiders but Chelsea are not out of the equation yet.
