Record-breaking Chelsea: 133 million euros for Moises Caicedo

Chelsea’s super hit finally came

Everyone expected that, sooner or later, Chelsea’s big blow would come. In the end, it came. The Blues, as confirmed by English media outlet The Sun, bought midfielder Caicedo from Brighton for a whopping 115 million pounds, or about 133 million euros. This is the most expensive purchase in the history of English soccer.

Born in 2001, the Ecuadorian national team midfielder played 27 games (with one goal) in the ranks of Brighton last season. Eight-year deal with Chelsea, who, in fact, got ahead of Liverpool. The Reds tried to get him but the Blues’ offer made the difference.

Given the big money spent on Caicedo, Chelsea will now have to sell a few more pieces of its long roster. Lukaku’s name remains in pole position with the English club continuing to hope for the Arabs. Big Rom, for its part, is always waiting for Juventus but the more days pass, the more the Saudi Arabia solution seems the only viable one. The feeling is that this will be the decisive week to know his future. In the meantime, Chelsea gives itself, at a golden weight, Caicedo, confirming that they have important ambitions for this season.
