Moises Caicedo continues to refuse to rule out a potential departure this summer amid interest from both Chelsea and Manchester United.
Caicedo joined The Seagulls in 2021 for just over £4million, cut to now and Brighton are requesting a fee of over £100m to sell their 21-year-old gem.
This however is fair enough as he is pivotal for Brighton and is a huge part of everything they do well, controlling the game from defensive midfield.
He made 37 appearances last season in the Premier League as Brighton achieved a sixth place finish and Europa League football for the first ever time.
So it makes sense as to why such a high value has been place on his head, especially when considering his age, he is destined to get even better.
He now finds himself the target of Chelsea and to a lesser extent United, with the Blues in talks currently to make him, far and away, the most expensive Ecuadorian in history.
Despite seemingly happy to stay on the South Coast, evident by his new contract, he refuses to shut down rumours.
What has Caicedo said?
Caicedo spoke recently admitting he is flattered by the interest and cryptically added that God will decide for him.
Speaking Maria Jose Flores via the Metro, Caicedo said:
“It’s a very great emotion. What guy wouldn’t want them to be talking about him? I know how to handle it.
“I don’t get carried away by emotions. I’m enjoying time with my family for now. There is pressure, but I am calm.
“I am waiting for whatever God decides. He will know what is best for me.”
It will be a long month and a half for Brighton until the transfer window shuts with speculation growing every day.
They probably would rather a deal happens sooner than later, giving ample time for a replacement to be brought in.
