The departure of Moisés Caicedo from Brighton for the summer market has been a long novel, where several great English teams want to take him away, but the one that came closest was Chelsea. However, Brighton will not sell him cheap and expects a great offer for those interested in ‘Niño Moi’, so the rumor that he will stay in the “Gaviotas” is starting to spread.
In addition, the “Blues” would release the experienced Conor Gallagher, who is wanted by Tottenham. The coach Mauricio Pochettino wants Caicedo to raise the Argentine Enzo Fernández a bit, however if the Ecuadorian does not arrive, he will look for a more offensive midfielder and some names are being considered: Mohammed Kudus (Ajax), Romeo Lavia (Southampton) and Gabri Veiga (Celta de Vigo).
The reason why there is no agreement yet
The British outlet Sky Sports from England broke the news and argued that Brighton believe that the offer for the Ecuadorian should be on the same scale as Declan Rice’s from West Ham to Arsenal (£105 million). In addition, the Ecuadorian had to appear in the preseason of the “seagulls” and that his club is evaluating other options.

Moisés Caicedo the most expensive Ecuadorian
With his new value, Moisés Caicedo became the most expensive Ecuadorian player on the market, surpassing Piero Hincapié with USD 25 million, from Bayer Leverkusen in Germany, and Pervis Estupiñán with USD 20 million, from Brighton in England. In addition, with his new value, he is the most expensive of his team, surpassing Argentine Alexis Mac Allister (USD 42 million), Robert Sánchez (USD 32 million) and Kaoru Mitoma (USD 22 million).
For his part, Jeremy Sarmiento also had an increase in its value since it now has a value of USD 5 million, two more than its value prior to the World Cup. It should be remembered that if Moisés Caicedo is sold in the current market, that figure will exceed that of Marc Cucurella who was sold to Chelsea for USD 65.3 million.
🚨🚨🚨
At this time Moisés Caicedo is most likely staying in Brighton.
They definitely don’t want to sell him for less than £100,000,000 and Chelsea would look at other markets at this point.
