Chelsea finally agree £115 million deal for Moises Caicedo – Liverpool outbid

It took almost three days, but Chelsea have now finally hit an agreement with Brighton after a new offer for Moises Caicedo, outbidding Liverpool.

As recently as Sunday lunchtime, Brighton had yet to receive an improved bid from Chelsea, despite posturing in the media since Friday morning.

This came after Liverpool agreed a deal worth £111 million for Caicedo only to learn that, with a medical already booked, the midfielder would prefer a switch to London.

After a long wait, Chelsea have now struck an agreement with Brighton on terms that exceed those laid on the table by the Reds.

The Athletic‘s David Ornstein reports that the Blues will pay £115 million for the 21-year-old, who is set to undergo a medical on Monday.

Caicedo will sign an eight-year contract at Stamford Bridge, with the option to extend that by a further 12 months, with a Monday announcement likely.

It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will return with a new bid for the midfielder, though it seems unlikely given the discouragement they have received in recent days.

This development leaves Jurgen Klopp‘s side desperately seeking a new marquee target for their defensive midfield position.

Lavia, it is claimed by the Mail‘s Sami Mokbel, is also expected to join Chelsea after Southampton received a £55 million bid.

With Liverpool owner John W. Henry landing in the UK over the weekend, talks should take place over the club’s next steps in the market.

The failed pursuit of Caicedo will only have alerted selling clubs to the funds available at Anfield, though, which is made worse by the very obvious need to sign a top defensive midfielder.
