According to Fabrizio Romano, Moises Caicedo is now experiencing a significant development.

 

On Saturday night, Chelsea and Brighton are

negotiating a final price for the Moises

Caicedo transaction.

The Blues have been putting the brakes on

Liverpool’s prospective move for Caicedo

ever since yesterday. But with the Reds the

only club to meet Brighton’s asking price so

far, nothing much has changed today.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano

though, that could soon change. Taking to

Twitter this evening, Romano claimed that

Chelsea are working on the deal for the

Ecuadorian ‘right now.’

“Chelsea, working on Moises Caicedo deal

 

 

right now — understand final fee being

discussed with Brighton is in excess of

£110m,” writes the journalist at 4.57pm.

“Key hours ahead. Chelsea want Moises at

Stamford Bridge tomorrow — plan in their

mind since last week.”

Chelsea working to trump Liverpool

Until we hear news that Brighton have

accepted an offer from Chelsea, we’ll remain

sceptical about this.

The Blues have now had something like 38

hours to match Liverpool’s bid. As of yet,

there’s been a lot of talk, but not much

action. That could be a good sign for the Reds.

With Liverpool still hanging in there, they

are clearly a little unsure about Chelsea’s

ability to bid, too.

Moises Caicedo

Nevertheless, it isn’t great news for

Liverpool either. Ever since it was reported

that a medical was being arranged

yesterday, there’s been little to no movement

on the Reds’ side.

Of course, that may not be true. We’re sure

that plenty is being done behind closed

doors to convince Caicedo that his future

lies at Anfield.

But at least publicly, they haven’t seemed to

convince him of that just yet.

There’s seemingly still a little way to run in

this saga yet, even if there is a breakthrough

this evening. Either way, at this stage, it

would be a surprise to see Caicedo at

Stamford Bridge tomorrow.
