Moises Caicedo still has two-and-a-half years on his current contract at the Amex Stadium.
Liverpool are making their entire focus on January’s transfer window and they would have to pay a “big fee” to secure Brighton star Moises Caicedo at Anfield, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.
Jurgen Klopp wants to boost his midfield and Ecuador international is a good option. He was part of Gustavo Alfaro’s La Tri squad at the World Cup.
As per the reports of Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth, both Chelsea and Liverpool are interested in Brighton midfielder. However, Brighton have no interest in letting the midfielder leave in the middle of the season. The club is doing great this season despite losing Graham Potter as their head coach.
The Seagulls value the 21-year-old attacker at £70m according to The Sun and will be under no pressure to sell him in January. The player still has two-and-a-half years on his current contract at the Amex Stadium.
O’Rourke spoke to GiveMeSport: “It’d be a big fee if Brighton were to consider selling him in January. I’m sure if Liverpool and Chelsea do firm up their interest in Caicedo, it’s a move that maybe the player will be interested in, but it would have to be on Brighton’s terms.”
Caicedo played in every minute of Ecuador’s World Cup campaign. But, the midfielder was able to provide Ecuador with a goal in Qatar. He scored an equaliser against Senegal but the African side went on to win the deciding group-stage clash 2-1.
However, the South American starlet will be hoping that a decent showing on the world’s biggest stage could potentially secure him a move to one of Europe’s top clubs in winter.
