A latest update has been provided in the Caicedo transfer saga. Manchester United has been one of the clubs that have been part of this chase. The other clubs that are seriously interested are Londoners, Arsenal and Chelsea. However, it seems that one of the renowned journalists of football, Ben Jacobs has an update for the fans.
Everyone right now is talking about the Brighton player and where he is going. From the likes of Fabrizio Romano, to the David Orenstein and so on. Everyone wants to know, which club Moises Caicedo will end up at.
With that being said, there is an update now on the Red Devils’ situation. This has been confirmed by Ben Jacobs via a recent Tweet.
What Is The Tweet By Ben Jacobs Involving The Fate Of Arsenal And Chelsea Target, Moises Caicedo; Amid Manchester United Interest!?
The fans are excited about the possibility to sign this top midfielder. Every club is looking at the situation and want to be involved. He is a high quality player that can really solidify the midfield of any top club. Arsenal wanted him in January too. However, now, only one club will end up signing him.
It seems that Manchester United were also interested in this transfer saga. That is, until recent weeks. It seems now that the Red Devils might have pulled out of it. And they will no longer try to sign the star. Well, if that is the case, it will be up to either Arsenal or Chelsea to get a deal done.
Below is the Tweet that was put out by renowned journalist Ben Jacobs just recently!!
Chelsea and Arsenal will pursue Moises Caicedo. Nothing too significant in the #MUFC links. Understand It’s going to take at least £70m guaranteed plus £10m in add ons. No bids placed yet. pic.twitter.com/7hucDumR4y

So, with that being said, the Manchester-based side may be looking at alternatives. They will not be getting pulled into this bidding war. A war that will only benefit Brighton.
Which Team Will Sign Him; Will Be It Arsenal Or Will It Be Chelsea!?
As per the recent reports coming in, Chelsea is leading the current race for Caicedo. They are the ones that want a deal done rather quickly. The player will be leaving Brighton this summer, which has already been confirmed. Both teams are London based and there is no issue in that.
Further, the only concern might have been Champions League football versus no European football. In that aspect, Arsenal does have a slight advance over their domestic rivals. However, the Gunners’ track record in recent times has not been up to the mark. This could benefit the Blues.
Lastly, Arsenal’s primary target at present is West Ham skipper, Declan Rice. The Gunners are pushing for a deal to bring him to the Emirates. While Edu and Arteta’s focus is away from Caicedo, Chelsea might bring him to Stamford Bridge. However, one thing is surely confirmed, that, Manchester United will not be signing him now, for sure!!
