Moises in basket... at £85m!
BRIGHTON are ready to cash in on Moises Caicedo – but want a massive £85million for him.
Chelsea and Newcastle have targeted the 20-year-old Ecuador midfield enforcer.
Toon sporting director Dan Ashworth – Brighton’s former technical director – oversaw Caicedo’s £4m move to the Amex Stadium from his native country in 2021.
Chelsea boss Graham Potter was Seagulls coach at the time and is also plotting a reunion.
The Blues took Spain left-back Marc Cucurella, 24, from Brighton for around £60m in a summer deal before Potter replaced Thomas Tuchel.
Liverpool and Manchester United are likely to enter the race for Caicedo – who Newcastle see as an alternative to Youri Tielemans, set to be out of contract at Leicester next summer.
Arsenal are understood to be in pole position to land Tielemans then, after reports that Juventus’ interest in the Belgium star has cooled.
