Liverpool have won the race to sign Moises Caicedo, according to reports. Brighton accepted Liverpool's £110 million bid late on Thursday evening, despite receiving multiple offers from Chelsea. Brighton had been demanding a minimum of £100 million for the 21-year-old Ecuador international, believing that he should be worth a similar amount to Declan Rice.
However, Chelsea had been unwilling to meet Brighton's asking price and Liverpool's approach on Wednesday caused a scare. An auction was held with a midnight deadline on Thursday and Liverpool succeeded with their offer of £110 million. Chelsea had put forward a proposal of £100 million.
Caicedo is yet to agree to the move to Liverpool, but The Athletic reports that personal terms are expected to be a "formality". Liverpool have already scheduled a medical for Friday, and more news is expected to follow.
