Osmosis and speculation describe everything throughout summer transfer windows, but this year, the name most uttered is Moises Caicedo. The Ecuadorian midfielder, who is greatly esteemed due to his tackling and long-range passing has attracted an impressive number of clubs from all over Europe, among many others.
Shock from Al-Nassr.
The frenzy surrounding Caicedo was enkindled as news came from Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. That this club also intended to purchase the services of Caicedo. This is the club in which the Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is playing. Notoriously known for its phenomenal spending to create a world brand.
The sudden link with Al-Nassr was eyebrow-raising, to say the least, for more reasons than one. First, this incredible talent would have to be playing at the top of European football for another decade. And with an offer like that being dangled by Saudi Arabia. A move there for such a talented and ambitious ladder-climber would surely be seen as a step-down in itself.
Moises Caicedo: A Calibrated Silence
Rarely would anything be mentioned of Brighton, which would be considered to be well within the opposite realm of thought.
Nevertheless, Caicedo shows commitment by training with Brighton and extending his contract. Which shows a willingness to stay with the Seagulls at least for the foreseeable future.
They were very serious regarding the signing of Caicedo, and signing from Europe was not unexpected. As one of many who called him the best midfield panacea, Liverpool was looking for the future under Jürgen Klopp. To sign such a box-to-box active midfielder, everything was there to suit their philosophy of how to play with the ball.
Meanwhile, Chelsea were competing for his signature. Pochettino is currently rebuilding Stamford Bridge and Caicedo’s versatility and hard work would have come in handy in the midfield.
Moises Caicedo-In-The Battle for Premier League Talent
“Whichever choice Caicedo makes will be a tough one. He may well choose a very lucrative offer from a hugely visible club with numerous trophies in its collection, Al-Nassr. On the flip side, he could also stay in the Premier League. While Liverpool and Chelsea grapple for prizes and with the finest players in the world.”
This decision could just be made based on a few things: on the one hand, playing time. On the other, club vision, and then between the player himself Huela.
Authors Opinion
That will be a tough one to decide in the end, I will end up choosing Caicedo. But, I think, it will weigh heavier on ambition. In other words, if he is serious about becoming the best player he can be. Then he should be playing at the highest level.
In this case, the more pertinent question is whether the competitive visibility and prestige of football that Al-Nassr. Has an offer it at the same level as the Premier League in England. In return for some security and growth while training under the globally recognized star findings of Ronaldo.
Conclusion
If Caicedo is to make a name in football, he has to play. With a team contesting titles and league champions. That is why fans see him staying in Europe and pursuing his dream career. That will surely bring a huge success to his career.
But the saga is far from over. More drama in twists and turns will unfold as the summer window rolls through, leaving the decision with Caicedo. The entire footballing world holds its breath waiting to see into which road this young star will venture.
