It looks like the Moises Caicedo saga has come to an end, and although short it was the most relevant saga in the European market so far this summer, it is nothing less than a record transfer fee for British football. The 21-year-old Ecuadorian midfielder was determined to leave Birghton and had to decide between Liverpool and Chelsea.

 

After Chelsea had been monitoring the player for several months and three offers made to Brighton were rejected, our Liverpool entered the race with a record £110 million bid for Caicedo, which was immediately accepted by the Seagulls. However, the player's agent halted his medicals with the Reds as they wanted to wait for the Blues to make a new offer.

According to journalist Dave Ockop, the London board has finally made a new and improved offer of £115 million for Caicedo. The journalist's information details that Brighton have accepted the offer and it now seems only a matter of time before the Ecuadorian defensive midfielder officially becomes the most expensive signing in Premier League history.

Now, with this information, Liverpool will have to act fast to get the reinforcements that Jürgen Klopp needs for the 2023-2024 season. If the board was willing to spend £110M for Caicedo, it means that there is money for transfers so these could be the signings Liverpool could make before the end of the transfer window.

 

Players who could arrive at Anfield with £110M

Immediately, talk has started again about Romeo Lavia who is reportedly still very interested in joining Liverpool. In addition, we could return for Khéphren Thuram, for whom Nice were asking around €40M. Also, with that money, it would not be unreasonable that Liverpool could try to sign Joshua Kimmich, Marco Verratti or Nicolo Barella, who have high prices, but who would be within the budget of the Anfield board.
