Never before has a club organized such a winter buying spree as Chelsea. The Londoners have already committed five newcomers worth millions this January. 100 million man Mykhaylo Mudryk (22) was just the tip of the iceberg. Now the Blues are after a player who could venture into a similar transfer sphere.
€63m was Chelsea’s first offer for Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moisés Caicedo, 21, reports ‘The Athletic’. The Seagulls rejected this immediately. Considering a report from the autumn, this is not surprising. The ‘Mirror’ reported a €99m demand for the Ecuadorian at the time.
Judging by the impressions of the past few weeks, it is hard to assume that they will be deterred by these lavish claims at Stamford Bridge. It is quite possible that Caicedo’s transfer fee will settle somewhere between the starting bid and the demand at the end of the day and that Chelsea will be able to announce its next mega transfer.
