Hopes that Liverpool will sign a deal to bring a Brighton midfielder to Anfield in the January transfer window

Although there are conflicting claims regarding interest, Caicedo has been linked with a move to Anfield during either the January transfer window or the summer transfer window, sources on Merseyside insist that no attempts have been made to sign the 21-year-old, and Brighton CEO Paul Barber has even denied receiving any offers from Jurgen Klopp's team, 

Telling CBS Sports at the weekend: "Maybe they haven't got my email." Sky Sports maintain that Liverpool would pursue a deal for the player. The anticipation now is that Caicedo will move to Chelsea, according to journalist David Lynch, who writes about this in his column for Liverpool's Official Supporters Club in Norway.

There won't be a midfielder in January, Lynch continues, “if FSG does not budge from its absurdly tight budgetary policies.” The implication is that a high-profile move for a player like Caicedo, who is estimated to be worth more than £60 million, may be ruled out this month, even though that phrase seems more like opinion than new information.

While Jude Bellingham will be the top priority, the club appears to have already laid the basis for a summer trade involving Matheus Nunes of Wolves, Less is known about January, although GOAL journalist Neil Jones said last week in an interview with The Redmen TV that he could envisage "an opportunistic signing" taking place then.

<strong>Jones also remarked that Liverpool</strong>

A phrase like "six months left on the deal" might not raise anyone's blood pressure, said Jones. If you want to call it that, it's “a better Arthur Melo” however, Jones also remarked that Liverpool "are not averse to modifying their ideas mid-window" and said, "I wouldn't get your hopes up about a midfielder."
