Chelsea have been linked with a move for Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo but will not pay £80 million to sign him.
According to a report from The Times, Brighton & Hove Albion value Moises Caicedo at £80 million. But Chelsea are unwilling to pay that kind of money for to sign the Ecuadorian international this summer.
The 21-year-old midfielder recently signed a new contract with Brighton. So the Seagulls will not want to let him leave for cheap and are demanding around £80 million to part ways with him. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea are ready to pay big money for him this summer.
The Blues are in desperate need of midfield reinforcements. And someone like Caicedo would be an excellent addition to them. The Brighton and Hove Albion prospect has established himself as one of the best defensive midfielders in the league. And he could be the ideal long-term replacement for club legend N’Golo Kante.
The French international completed a move to Saudi Arabia recently, and Chelsea will have to replace him properly. Caicedo has the ability to develop into a top-class midfielder in the near future. And someone like Mauricio Pochettino could help him fulfil his potential.
The 21-year-old is excellent when it comes to winning the ball back for his side, and he will be the perfect fit for Pochettino’s high-intensity pressing system as well. The Ecuadorian midfielder is reportedly keen on joining a big club this summer. And the opportunity to play for Chelsea will be an attractive proposition for him.
The player tried to engineer a move away from Brighton during the January transfer window as well when Arsenal were keen on signing him. However, Brighton refused to sell him back then and convinced him to sign a new contract with them. Meanwhile, he is also a target for Manchester United.
It will be interesting to see if Brighton are willing to lower their demands in the coming weeks. Chelsea are clearly hoping to sign him for a reasonable price. So it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds. On paper, the 21-year-old seems like the ideal partner for Enzo Fernandez, and the two players could form one of the best midfield partnerships in the league.
