In the latest update, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Chelsea has reached a personal terms agreement with Moises Caicedo, signaling a potential transfer for the talented midfielder. Romano shared this information during a Q&A session on ‘The Residency’. And he went on to mention that negotiations between the clubs are about to commence.
Chelsea has identified Caicedo as their top priority in bolstering their midfield for the upcoming season. The club is searching for the best possible candidate to form a long-term partnership with Enzo Fernandez. While they have been pleased with Fernandez’s performances. They recognize the potential benefits of bringing in another midfield player.
Initially, Manuel Ugarte was the ideal choice. But PSG’s interference thwarted Chelsea’s efforts to secure his services. Now, the focus has shifted to negotiating with Brighton, a task known for its difficulty in the football world.
Chelsea agree personal terms with Caicedo
According to Romano, the stage is set for discussions between Chelsea and Brighton to secure the £80 million deal for Caicedo. However, Brighton may use their interest in Chelsea’s young talent, Levi Colwill, as leverage in negotiations. The Seagulls have expressed their desire to permanently acquire Colwill, who impressed during his loan spell with them last season. They are even willing to break their transfer record to secure his signature.
Despite Brighton’s interest, Chelsea has maintained their stance that Colwill is not for sale. Additionally, new manager Mauricio Pochettino has already expressed his admiration for the young player, further solidifying Chelsea’s determination to retain him.
The negotiations between Chelsea and Brighton will likely be challenging, but with a personal terms agreement already in place with Moises Caicedo, Chelsea is taking significant steps towards securing the £80 million midfielder. The transfer saga unfolds as both clubs navigate their respective interests and objectives in the upcoming talks.
