Good News: A very close source to the club have given a verdict that is positive on Moises Caicedo to Chelsea
But what people have to remember as whilst it’s easy for us fans to grow impatient and get annoyed by the constant reports on it and the fact it is seemingly moving very slow, it’s a huge deal to get done and will be for a lot of money. And also, Brighton are never an easy club to negotiate with. Both clubs are trying really hard to get the best out of the deal so it was always going to take time.
The fact is though, that even some very close Brighton sources are starting to report a little more positively on this now, in the sense that they feel it could actually get done. Whereas just last week most of them were playing it down a lot more.
Andy Naylor of The Athletic is literally the Brighton correspondent for the publication, and he has just tweeted the below on the Caicedo saga.
An update.
He’ll join the squad for the U.S tour straight from Ecuador.
Expectation is that Chelsea’s interest will gather pace.
Slow so far in terms of meaningful talks/bid(s) involving key decision makers.https://t.co/c5BZfXFFN1— Andy Naylor (@AndyNaylorBHAFC) July 17, 2023
Although he is staying firm on the £100m valuation thing, he is also admitting he expects this to gather pace now despite Caicedo heading off on Brighton’s USA tour. You know who else is off to the USA this week? Chelsea…. !! *Insert eyes emoji.
