As reported by Pulse Sports, Liverpool had planned a medical for Caicedo following an agreement with Brighton. 

Liverpool’s Caicedo agreement

Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool had reportedly won the race for Moises Caicedo’s signature after an agreement was reached with Brighton and Hove Albion.

Jurgen Klopp needs to sign a midfielder this summer and thought Caicedo was done and dusted.

Liverpool had beaten Chelsea to the Colombian midfielder who will join the Reds for a British record fee of 110 million pounds subject to a medical.

According to the report earlier today, Liverpool had agreed to pay exactly what Brighton wanted for their most prized asset.

Liverpool are looking to reunite Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister at Anfield.

The Seagulls had insisted that the 21-year-old will only be allowed to leave the Amex for the highest bidder and held an auction with a midnight cut-off for the player where Klopp’s Liverpool emerged as the preferred bidders.

Caicedo rejection

However, hours later, Pulse Sports reported that the defensive midfielder had rejected the Reds and insisted on joining Pochettino’s revolution at Stamford.

The shocking development comes as the latest twist in what has become the drama of the summer as Chelsea are now expected to reopen talks for the midfielder. 

The Blues have been in the hunt for the talented midfielder but have seen their bids rejected by fellow Premier League side Brighton.

Chelsea had tabled three separate bids for the young midfielder rejected by the Seagulls but will be re-energised by his push to join the club after he rejected Liverpool.

Caicedo follows Chelsea

In what could be described as the biggest hint about where Caicedo’s heart is, the youngster has sent a big message to Liverpool and his club Brighton.

Moises Caicedo is showing Chelsea he is a man of his word.

Caicedo has now followed Chelsea on Instagram according to a post on X.com from the reliable transfer man Fabrizio Romano. 

This is the latest move by the highly rated South American who has made it clear that he only wants a move to Chelsea who have already agreed personal terms with the young midfielder since May.
