Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo has been linked with Real Madrid in recent months, and he has commented on his future.
Moises Caicedo has been exceptional for Chelsea since arriving from Brighton & Hove Albion, and he is one of the first names on the team sheet. It is hardly a surprise that the best clubs in the world are keen on securing his signature. However, the midfielder has reaffirmed his commitment to the project at Chelsea and is not distracted by rumours of a potential exit.
Moises Caicedo wants Chelsea stay
The South American has admitted that he wants to become a legend at the London club, and his comments will certainly appease the fans. Chelsea simply cannot afford to lose a player of his quality any time soon. They are looking to build a team capable of competing at the highest level, and they need elite talents like him at the club.
“I want to become a Chelsea legend,” he told Spain’s El Chiringuito TV via Sky Sports.
“I’m under contract and my focus is on Chelsea and Ecuador.”
It has been a mediocre season for Chelsea, and they are fighting for a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League. It remains to be seen whether players like Caicedo can step up and help them finish the season strongly. Missing out on Champions League football for the upcoming campaign would be devastating for them.
Real Madrid need a midfielder
Meanwhile, Real Madrid could use an elite defensive midfielder, and the Chelsea star would undoubtedly help them improve. It is no surprise they are looking at him, and it remains to be seen whether they decide to test the resolve of the London club with an attractive offer in the summer.
The comments from the Chelsea midfielder will certainly leave them disappointed.
Eduardo Camavinga has been heavily linked with a move away from Real Madrid, and they will need to replace him. The Chelsea Star could be the ideal replacement for the French International. However, it will be difficult for Real Madrid to get the deal across the line. Convincing Chelsea was already difficult, and the player is not keen on the move either.
The midfielder has a contract with Chelsea until 2033, and Real Madrid will find it difficult to convince the Blues to sell the player, even if they offer an outrageous amount of money.
