What future for Moisés Caicedo? Considered one of the best in his position in the Premier League, the defensive midfielder from Brighton delivered an XXL season with the Seagulls. Benefits that have not gone unnoticed.
Indeed, Chelsea have made the Ecuadorian international a priority to strengthen a diminished playing sector with the departures of Mateo Kovacic, N’Golo Kanté, Mason Mount and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. An expensive priority for the Blues who saw their last offer refused.
However, the London club owned by Todd Boehly have no intention of letting go. In effect, Chelsea are considering submitting a new offer of 80 million euros . An offer that could well hit the mark.
It is therefore in this context that Brighton have been looking for a defensive midfielder to compensate for a possible departure of Moisés Caicedo. Among the avenues studied, one leads to Cheick Doucoure.
Arrived last summer at Crystal Palace for 22 million euros from RC Lens, the 23-year-old Malian midfielder quickly adapted to his new environment. Proof of this is that he was voted the Eagles’ best player this season by the supporters of the English club. Benefits that have not escaped the Brighton board.
Under contract until 2027 at Crystal Palace, Cheick Doucouré saw his rating climb on the transfer market. Suffice to say that the Seagulls will have to be very convincing financially to hope to convince the club from the suburbs of London. We can indeed imagine that at less than 50M€ it will not be sold.
