Since the transfer market was opened, one of the most targeted is neither more nor less than moises caicedo. After a season of explosion with the Brighton in the Premier League, the off-road steering wheel caught the attention of several giants who were interested in keeping their pass. However, the favorite in the race for the Moi Boy is Chelsea... Although the days go by and the signing continues without closing. Who referred to the negotiation was Fabrizio Romano, a journalist specializing in the market and a guru of transfers in Europe.

“The talks between Chelsea and Brighton continue. From London they tried a different type of negotiation… They did not do the normal mechanism of offering and waiting for a response.a, but they are talking directly almost daily to come up with a price“said the journalist, on his YouTube channel, in his daily analysis of the main news of the day in the pass market of the Old Continent.

“These kinds of negotiations will take a bit longer., but it is underway and Chelsea is still working, although it is not the only operation they are carrying out. They also want a Brazilian striker and more attacking options. However, Moisés Caicedo is the priority for Chelsea”closed Roman. The video of him was seen by more than 100,000 people in just three hours. The vast majority are fans of the Blues who dream of seeing the Ecuadorian in the shirt of the team now led by Mauricio Pochettino.

According to Romano, Chelsea already have everything agreed with the La Tri midfielder. To make the transfer official, it remains for the clubs to agree. From England they assure that Brighton will part with their jewel for a few £100,000,000 (about 127 million dollars). The first offer the London team made would have been for $92,000,000, a figure that is enough for the Seagulls.

Praise for Moisés Caicedo

Craig Burley, a former Chelsea player who now works as a commentator on ESPN, highlighted Moi’s work. Burley spoke about the characteristics of the tricolor in midfield and when making a comparison with Enzo Fernández, a Chelsea player and world champion with Argentina, he chose Caicedo.

Burley emphasized how the La Tri player was able to adapt to Brighton’s style of play with risky starts from deep: “He is a brilliant player. They passed the ball from behind as well as the best teams and Moisés managed to play that way. Personally, I think Moisés is a better footballer than Enzo Fernández“, commented the Scotsman.

Although Moi and Enzo can play different midfield roles, Burley stuck with the Ecuadorian over the world champion. Caicedo is one of Chelsea’s main targets for this transfer market and it is expected that in the coming days they will make an offer to start negotiations with Brighton.

How would Chelsea form with Moi Caicedo?

For now, the place of Moi Caicedo -to sign- would be assured in the middle of the field. Especially after the departure of Jorginho, an Italian-Brazilian midfielder who went to Arsenal, Denis Zakaria’s position of not continuing and the transfer of Kanté to Saudi Arabia. We will have to see what scheme Mauricio Pochettino decides to play with, but an auspicious possibility for the midfielder in a 4-3-3 would be with Enzo Fernández on the left, the Ecuadorian more in the center and Conor Gallagher on the right.

Another tactical variant that the Argentine coach usually uses is 3-4-1-2, in which Moi would fulfill a role closer to the one he had with La Tri in the World Cup in Qatar, as a more advanced double 5. Conor Gallagher (they are processing their sale at Stamford Bridge) or Carney Chukwuemeka. Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech (if he doesn’t cross over to Arab football as well), Noni Madueke and Andrey Santos will fight for a place in midfield.

The Blue lineup, with a lot of market ahead, which appears would be with: Kepa; Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell; Enzo Fernandez, Moi Caicedo, Kovacic; Mudryk, Sterling and Nico Jackson.
