High interest in Caicedo
Arsenal went all out for him in January but were priced out. Chelsea themselves have had multiple bids rejected, as Brighton insist on receiving over 100 million pounds to let the player go.
Liverpool became the first club to satisfy Brighton's demands; however, the player reportedly had an agreement with the Blues since May, hence turning down the Reds' advances. The Todd Boehly-owned side returned to the negotiation table and have not reportedly reached an agreement with the hard-bargaining Seagulls.
