Manchester United and Liverpool target Moises Caicedo is not expected to leave Brighton in January.
Since joining Brighton from Independiente del Valle, Caicedo has become a key player for the Premier League side. The Ecuadorian midfielder played in the World Cup with his team, which unfortunately was eliminated in the last game of the group stage.
After his impressive season with Brighton, naturally Premier League clubs will take a look at Caicedo, and Fabrizio Romano has confirmed to CaughtOffside that there is interest, but a January switch seems unlikely at this point.

“Caicedo is not expected to leave in January, the situation remains the same. Liverpool, Man United but also other clubs are following him; He has been on Manchester United’s list for years, but then nothing happened. I’m sure Brighton will try to keep it at least until June,” Romano said, via his Substack column.
Selling a key player mid-season wouldn’t make much sense for Brighton. As we’ve seen with Marc Cucurella, they won’t be afraid to lose and replace a player if the price is right, but at 21, Caicedo’s price is only going to go up and there will be no rush to sell the midfielder.
Hopefully, for Brighton’s sake, Caicedo won’t be pushing a move so soon after joining the club, but the lure of joining a club as big as Liverpool and Manchester United may be too great to turn down.
