The player who was afraid to play for Liverpool and is now suffering karma

The Ecuadorian midfielder was the star of the transfer window in Europe. Last summer, Moises Caicedo became the centre of attention in European football. After an impressive season with Brighton, the young midfielder became the object of desire of two Premier League giants: Liverpool and Chelsea. Despite a tempting offer of £110 million from the Reds, Caicedo decided to keep his word and joined Chelsea for a record £115 million.

Caicedo's agent, Manuel Sierra, admitted that Liverpool's proposal would have been the "most stable" option for the young Ecuadorian. However, Caicedo's loyalty to Chelsea, with whom he had been in talks since January, weighed more heavily in his decision. Sierra revealed that Chelsea's insistence and the word given to the London club were decisive in Caicedo's choice. Despite his decision, Caicedo's start at Chelsea has not been as expected. On his debut for the club, during a clash against West Ham, he made a mistake that resulted in a penalty against him.

While it is natural for young players to face challenges when adapting to a new team, especially in a league as competitive as the Premier League, expectations for Caicedo are high due to his record transfer fee. Despite the early challenges, Moises Caicedo's future at Chelsea remains bright. At just 21 years old, he has plenty of time to adapt, learn and grow under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino. Furthermore, his decision to keep his word and join Chelsea demonstrates his character and loyalty, qualities that are highly valued in the world of football.

Karma

The Ecuadorian midfielder asked for a substitution in Chelsea's victory. Chelsea in England can go from the joy of victory to concern. One of their first-choice players was injured, as confirmed by manager Mauricio Pochettino, who told of the new injury to Moisés Caicedo. The Ecuadorian midfielder, who was one of the stars of the match, had to come off with a knock to his knee and set off alarm bells for the Blues and the Ecuadorian national team. "He will undergo tests to see how serious it is," the Argentine coach told a news conference.
