After failing to qualify for the Champions League, Liverpool made the important decision to start a reconstruction for next season. Renowned players such as Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Arthur Melo left to make way for the arrivals of the Hungarian Dominik Szobazlai (RB Leipzig) and the Argentine Alexis Mac Allister (Brighton And Hove Albion).
However, shortly before his official debut (he will start his way in the Premier League this Sunday visiting Chelsea), the Reds delivered one of the main blows in the transfer market by staging a record transfer to England.
Those directed by Jürgen Klopp will disburse 110,000,000 pounds sterling (about 140,000,000 dollars and 127 of the European currency) to keep the card of the Ecuadorian midfielder of Brighton And Hove Albion Moises Caicedo.
These figures place the pass of the midfielder, who will meet again in Liverpool with his former teammate Alexis Mac Allister, at the highest in the history of the Premier League, surpassing the 121 million that Chelsea paid to remove Enzo Fernández from Benfica. It is also placed within the six highest in this sport, only surpassed by the Portuguese Joao Félix to Atlético Madrid, the Frenchman Ousmane Dembélé to Barcelona, the Brazilian Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona, the Frenchman Kylian Mbappé to Paris Saint Germain and the Brazilian Neymar to Paris Saint Germain.

Caicedo, who is 21 years old and began his professional career at Independiente del Valle, was one of the figures of the Italian coach Roberto De Zerbi. Last season he played 43 games, in which he contributed a goal (against Leicester City) and provided an assist (Everton). It is worth remembering that those from East Sussex took over the footballer’s file in the 21/22 season after paying 5 million euros to K Beerschot VA from Belgium.
The young Ecuadorian was one of the most required figures in this transfer window, since Brighton previously rejected succulent offers from Chelsea (115 million euros) or Bayern Munich (103 million European currency), to name a few cases.
Liverpool, after finishing last season in fifth place in the standings, was left out of the Champions League zone and will seek to step firmly in the Europa League.
