According to Dean Jones of Give Me Sport, Chelsea may begin negotiations with Moises Caicedo immediately. Arsenal is one of several clubs interested in signing the Ecuadorian midfielder as the summer transfer window approaches, despite his reported price tag of £80 million.

Moises Caicedo’s season has been full of ups and downs, but he’s going out on top. As a result of Wednesday’s 1-1 draw between Brighton and Manchester City at the Amex, the Seagulls have qualified for next season’s Europa League.

It’s a huge win for Brighton. They’re planning to use their best players in their first-ever run in Europe. Stars like Alexis Mac Allister and Caicedo, who play in the middle of the pitch, may leave for teams in the Champions League, reducing the team’s chances of keeping them.

Despite not participating in Europe next season, Chelsea is planning a major transfer for Caicedo in the forthcoming window. The Blues’ January bid of £80 million was turned down by Brighton, who was the club’s top priority target.

Arsenal currently has an advantage over Chelsea in the pursuit of Caicedo. Two offers from Arsenal were turned down by Brighton. The club’s midfielder even used social media to beg the Seagulls to let him go to the Emirates.

Reports of productive conversations between Arsenal and their target before the summer transfer window have been mixed. Dean Jones, a journalist, thinks the Blues should think about signing the Ecuadorian. He said that the Blues may start negotiations with Brighton immediately now.

Although Liverpool and Manchester United have also been linked to Caicedo, Arsenal currently has the upper hand. As Mikel Arteta tries to bolster his midfield options, the Gunners may be able to give him Champions League football.

Even if Chelsea finishes last in the league, they will still have the opportunity to make splashy acquisitions. Caicedo will evaluate his options after the conclusion of the season. So, it remains to be seen whether they are successful in persuading the player.

Jones stated that Chelsea would seek guidance from Brighton regarding the potential signing of Moisés Caicedo early in the transfer window. He mentioned that he couldn’t be certain if Chelsea would make an offer, but their initial step would involve understanding the expected terms and the pace at which things could progress.

He further added that Chelsea was determined not to waste time in their transfer dealings. Mauricio Pochettino desired a settled squad for the pre-season, avoiding a repeat of the previous season’s poor preparations that had put them on the back foot from the start of the Premier League.

According to Jones, he was informed that Chelsea had other alternatives besides Caicedo, but the player seemed attainable in the upcoming window. He anticipated early discussions, considering the interest from at least two other Premier League clubs.
