According to a report in The Athletic<\/a>, an unnamed club has made an \u00a380 million plus offer for midfielder Moises Caicedo who is also a target for Chelsea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Blues are desperate to add a new central midfielder before the new season Premier League<\/a> begins and they have their sight set on signing Moises Caicedo from Brighton and Hove Albion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The midfielder has no problems in joining Chelsea but Brighton are not refusing to budge from their valuation of \u00a3100 million. Chelsea are in continued negotiations with the Seagulls and amidst this, an unnamed club has tried to sign Caicedo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Sky Sports<\/a>, a Saudi Arabian team has made this offer but Brighton have stayed true to their word and swiftly knocked back the \u00a380 million plus proposal. The Seagulls know that all the big boys in England need top-class midfielders and after Rice’s move to Arsenal, not many impactful central defenders are available in the transfer market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brighton are very clear they want nothing less than \u00a3100 million for Moises Caicedo and because his contract with the club expires in 2027, they are in no hurry to offload him. He’s spent just one full season with Brighton and because the club finished sixth last season, the 21-year-old will be able to play to taste European football this campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWill Chelsea match or better the new offer for Moises Caicedo?<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
