Moises Caicedo’s agent, Manuel Sierra, has provided information about why the player chose Chelsea over Liverpool in the summer.
Brighton & Hove Albion apparently insisted that it would take a £100 million offer to let one of their best players leave during the most recent transfer window.
Instead, Chelsea tried to negotiate a lower price, prolonging a story that started in January when both the Blues and Arsenal first indicated interest.Liverpool unexpectedly made a bid that was more than Brighton’s rumored asking price. It was approved, and Caicedo was given the go-ahead to hold negotiations and get a medical.
However, Chelsea responded shortly after the Seagulls received that proposal, deliveringImagine that Jurgen Klopp is writing to you and discussing a very significant matter with one of the finest teams in the world, similar to Chelsea, but with a more established and stable programme than what Chelsea now have.
“Of course Moises and I felt queasy when Liverpool came and approached in that manner, but Chelsea was at our side at all times asking us to leave; they needed an hour to inform Brighton that they could match the offer. They gave them an hour, and after two days of talks, it was over.Since joining Chelsea in August, the 21-year-old, whose £115 million transfer fee was the most in British transfer history, has made five starts and two substitute appearances.
