Liverpool’s Caicedo deal off.

Moises Caicedo’s potential move to Liverpool has been thwarted due to the player’s desire to ‘only join’ Chelsea, who are expected to make another bid for the youngster.

The Ecuadorian has been on Chelsea’s radar throughout the summer window, with the London club having a number of bids rejected as Brighton insisted on £100 million for the 21-year-old dynamic midfielder.

Liverpool, on the other hand, increased the requested sum to £110 million in an attempt to steal Chelsea’s main target. The Reds were given permission to discuss personal matters with the athlete and finally subject him to the required medical evaluation.

However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano verified an earlier SkySports report that Chelsea still had a chance given the player’s choice.

“Moises Caicedo is reconsidering his decision to move to Liverpool.” “The player and his representatives are still in London, amid reports that Chelsea are interested in bringing him back,” SkySports reported.

“Moisés Caicedo has just informed Liverpool that he wishes to join Chelsea only!”

“Caicedo has decided to keep his word and accept Chelsea only because personal terms have been agreed upon since the end of May.” “Chelsea is set to make another bid in order to complete the deal with Brighton,” Fabrizio tweeted on Friday morning.

Chelsea is eager to break their transfer record in order to get the man who has been identified as a long-term replacement for Ngolo Kante, who left the club after a good spell.

The ‘Moises Caicedo saga’ adds intrigue to Sunday’s Premier League match between Liverpool and Chelsea.
