‘Medical booked’ as Moises Caicedo saga reaches conclusion between Liverpool and Chelsea

Chelsea have reportedly agreed to sign Moises Caicedo - handing a blow to Liverpool.

It has been suggested that the 21-year-old has been leaning towards a move to the London outfit. And now Chelsea have agreed a £115 million deal. Per Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, a report said: “Moisés Caicedo to Chelsea, here we go!

Caicedo will sign until June 2031 with option until 2032.”

Liverpool are in the market for a new defensive midfielder to replace departed duo Jordan Henderson and Fabinho. The Reds have also been targeting Southampton’s Romeo Lavia but have had three bids reaching £45 million turned down. Chelsea are said to be keen on a £55 million deal for the Belgium international.
