Caicedo to join Liverpool for record British fee

Liverpool have agreed terms with Brighton to sign Ecuadorian midfielder Moises Caicedo for a record-breaking British fee of £111m.

Brighton infamously rejected numerous bid for Caicedo already with the club adamant that the £100m mark should be exceeded.

Surprisingly, the Reds have achieved that and the 21-year-old is now ready to go on a medical at Anfield.

Jürgen Klopp: “I got told I can confirm the Moisés Caicedo deal is agreed with the club”. 🚨🔴 #LFC

“With the player, we will have to see. Medical today? I can’t tell you, I don’t know”.

“I got told I can confirm a deal with [Brighton] is agreed.” Klopp said.

“What did change is that we are a club with not endless resources, so things we didn’t expect, a couple of things happening in the summer [Henderson and Fabinho], stuff like this.

“We didn’t think about that before the summer, to be honest and when it happened, we gave it a go and obviously, the club was really stretched there, to be honest.”

Caicedo becomes Liverpool second signing from Brighton after Alexis Mac Allister, who was acquired for £35m.

The Red lost Jordan Henderson and Fabinho this summer and are currently rebuilding their forces in midfield.
