In a strange transfer drama, Liverpool agreed to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton during the summer transfer window, but the midfielder ultimately decided to move to Chelsea.
New estimates from CIES Football Observatory (via Rousing The Kop) indicate that Jurgen Klopp’s team shouldn’t be very unhappy because they already have a player with the same worth as the 21-year-old Ecuadorian, who was purchased for a staggering £115 million by the Stamford Bridge squad.
Although Chelsea spent over £100 million to sign Caicedo, the former Brighton player is only worth €60 million (£51.5 million), which is equal to Harvey Elliott of Liverpool.
Despite not achieving one of our goals, Liverpool signed four midfielders this summer. It emphasizes the incredible business the Reds have done that Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch were all recruited for a total £145 million.
With players like Curtis Jones, Elliott, and Thiago Alcantara, we can compete on all four fronts this season. Klopp’s midfield currently appears to be full of energy, inventiveness, and poise.
