Chelsea beat Liverpool to sign Moises Caicedo for reported record £115M fee

Chelsea’s frenzied and extravagant dash through the transfer market shows no signs of slowing.

The Blues beat Liverpool in signing Moises Caicedo on Monday for a reported £115-million fee. The sum makes the Ecuadorian midfielder the most expensive incoming transfer in British football history.

Caicedo, who made 45 Premier League appearances for Brighton & Hove Albion before his blockbuster move, signed an eight-year contract at Stamford Bridge. There’s a club option to add an additional year to the deal.

Brighton have made a huge profit on Caicedo after paying Independiente del Valle around £4 million for his services in February 2021, according to Agence France-Presse.
