Moises Caicedo was at the heart of a transfer window war between Liverpool and Chelsea. Finally, the Blues obtained his transfer for 130 million euros at the end of the summer. The Ecuadorian preferred to go to London, his agent is not fully convinced.
Having fallen into the anonymity of the soft underbelly in the Premier League, Chelsea remained a sure bet in Europe in terms of transfers. The London club spent more than 400 million euros this summer to attract Christopher Nkunku, Axel Disasi and Cole Palmer (Manchester City). But it was Moises Caicedo who was the most expensive transfer. The Ecuadorian midfielder was bought for more than 130 million euros from Brighton (133 million euros exactly). A very high price but not so illogical as the 21-year-old impressed England last season. However, did Caicedo make the right choice?
Liverpool more solid, Caicedo nevertheless chose Chelsea
Indeed, in addition to Chelsea, Liverpool coveted him. Sportingly, the Reds seemed to be the best option. While Chelsea have been struggling in the middle of the standings for a year and not playing in Europe, Liverpool are competing in the Europa League and are currently in the top 4 in the league. Caicedo’s agent revealed the reasons for choosing his protégé to Futbol sin Cassette, a Hispanic media outlet on Youtube. He conceded that the choice of Liverpool would have been more logical for Caicedo but Chelsea were favored for the human relationship maintained this summer with the Ecuadorian.

« We are talking regarding something really big, one of the best teams in the world, just like Chelsea. Well, with a more established and more stable project than that of Chelsea today, which is a very ambitious project over two years. So when Liverpool come and approach you that way, Moises obviously gets dizzy, I even get dizzy myself. But Chelsea have always been by our side, being very fast. They were asking for an hour, I mean just an hour, so that Brighton might tell them the conditions for responding to the offer. “, he indicated. Caicedo should not regret his choice this season with Chelsea, especially since the start of the season does not really prove him right at the moment: Chelsea are 11th and Caicedo has not scored a single goal in 7 official matches.
