Caicedo denies Liverpool transfer, expresses exclusive interest in Chelsea

After the news broke this morning that Liverpool had reached an agreement to sign Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo, it appears that the player has now turned down the deal. Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano informs us that Caicedo has expressed his desire to only join Chelsea, as he has not yet signed a contract with Liverpool.

The summer transfer market continues to provide us with thrilling drama. Friday morning brought the revelation that Liverpool had scooped in to secure Caicedo, managing to outbid Chelsea by a mere £10 million for the midfielder’s services.

The proposed deal, which stood at a staggering £110 million, had been hailed as a record-breaking transfer fee for the Premier League. Even Reds manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed the agreement in a press conference. However, the story took an unexpected turn, all thanks to Caicedo himself.

Shortly after the news broke, reports emerged that the Ecuadorian was having doubts about moving to Anfield. Despite having a medical examination scheduled, Chelsea was not willing to give up their pursuit of the talented player.

Now, according to the reputable journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Caicedo, at 21 years old, has made it clear to Liverpool that he has no intention of joining their club. His sights are firmly set on a move to Chelsea.

Equally eager to secure the young talent, the Blues are expected to make another bid to finalize the deal with Brighton.
