Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Moises Caicedo is set to change his agent, amid speculation about transfers to Liverpool and Chelsea.
The Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder is on the radar of both Premier League outfits.
Former Liverpool left-back Jose Enrique revealed on Instagram this week, as covered by HITC Sport, that he can see Chelsea winning the race to sign the £70 million-rated powerhouse.
According to Goal, the Anfield outfit are confident that the Seagulls will sell their star midfielder during the January transfer window.
And if Romano is to be believed, that’s additionally plausible.
That’s because the Italian journalist has revealed that Caicedo is on the brink of changing his management team and that the player himself is desperate for a ‘big move’.
He told Caught Offside: “I think Moises Caicedo would be open to joining any top club, this is why he’s going to have new agents soon; I don’t know his preference as of today, I’m not aware of any conversation with friends about Liverpool, but for sure he’s hoping for a big move.”
Chelsea have just lost 4-0 to Manchester City in the FA Cup and because of that, don’t be surprised to see the Blues ramp up their efforts for Caicedo.
Todd Boehly clearly isn’t a reserved type of owner and seems well capable of spending vast sums of money.
And that’s a worry for Liverpool because their model is on the opposite end of the spectrum, rather conservative in comparison.
But if they want Caicedo, they must be prepared to be decisive and beat Chelsea to the punch because in all probability, this defeat has the potential to speed up their pursuit in a massive way.
