Brighton chief executive Paul Barber has addressed rumors linking Moises Caicedo with a move away from the club, with Chelsea and Liverpool interested.
Ben Jacobs recently confirmed to CaughtOffside that both Chelsea and Liverpool were interested in signing midfielder Caicedo from Brighton.
The Ecuadorian midfielder has had an exceptional season at Brighton who will undoubtedly be desperate to win him, especially in the middle of the season.
Now Brighton boss Barber has addressed these rumours, confirming that they have yet to receive an offer from any club for Caicedo.

“I am pleased to say that we have not had any. Maybe Liverpool haven’t received my email because I haven’t seen one. I’m not sure £42m includes the boots now, maybe just the laces. But jokes aside, the value of each player is ultimately determined by the market,” Barber said, speaking to CBS Sports, as broadcast by SportsMole.
It seems £42m won’t be enough to acquire Caicedo’s services, so interested clubs will have to weigh whether the Brighton midfielder is worth the price they are expected to command.
There is no doubt that Caicedo has been impressive for Brighton, but he still has relatively little experience at the highest level. A move in the summer would seem more likely, allowing Brighton to work their magic and find a suitable replacement.
