Neither Argentine nor Brazilian. Neither French, Italian, Spanish, English or German. Nothing of that. The record signing for the legendary English Liverpool and for British football seemed to be the Ecuadorian Moisés Caicedo, just 21 years old. Did she look like Yes, because her transfer, which has been mentioned since last season, seems to have entered a novel…
On the night of Thursday, August 10, the Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano launched the initial report: Liverpool was one step away from closing the arrival of Caicedo to the team Red for a number close to 110 million British pounds, almost 140 million dollars.
The directive of The club had sent the offer in the late hours of a British night and Brighton, owner of Caicedo’s file, was ready to accept it. If everything went as expected, this Friday, August 11, Caicedo would agree to his terms with the club and he would be a footballer for the legendary red team.

However, that last part seems to have added another chapter to the novel. And it is that Romano reported that the player informed Liverpool that he only wants to join Chelseaa team to which he gave his word when they previously talked in May, at which time they agreed on their personal conditions for a future sale.
Given this, Chelsea is preparing to launch a new proposal, even despite the fact that the medical examinations have already been scheduled since the contracts between Liverpool and Brighton are prepared. Although of course, nothing will be defined until the documents are signed.

Brighton played a risky bet that is about to come out brilliantly. Those from Sussex stood firm in their goal of not selling the player for less than 100 million and came out winners: Liverpool went all out to avoid losing the bid with the Blues and the deal would be best sale in British football historysurpassing the transfer of Declan Rice from West Ham to Arsenal, for whom the Gunners they paid some €116.6 million. In that currency, the signing of Caicedo would be about 127 million.
