Brighton‘s Roberto De Zerbi has issued a defiant statement as Moises Caicedo prepares to leave the club, insisting he is “already forgotten.”
Friday has brought an ever-changing transfer story that would usually have spanned an entire window, as both Liverpool and Chelsea vie for Caicedo.
While it had been expected that the 21-year-old would join the Reds following their £111 million bid, however, the circumstances have now changed.
Instead, the player appears set on joining Chelsea, with a switch to Stamford Bridge seeming more likely as question marks arise over Caicedo’s character.
However the situation resolves, Caicedo looks to have been badly advised not only now, but back in January when he agitated for a move to Arsenal.
It may come as no surprise, then, that De Zerbi took an interesting stance on the Ecuadorian’s future when asked on Friday.
