Chelsea are close to agreeing a deal for Romeo Lavia, reports suggest. Liverpool have made three bids so far this summer for the Southampton midfielder – culminating at £48 million. Yet despite being in need of a replacement for duo Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, who departed for Saudi Arabia sides Al-Ittihad and Al-Ettifaq respectively, one has still not been sought on the eve of the 2023-24 Premier League season. Now it has been claimed that Chelsea are nearing an agreement with the Saints for Lavia. Belgium-based reporter Sachia Tavolieri has suggested that the London side are willing to pay up…

It has been a rollercoaster 36 hours or so in the transfer market, with Liverpool and Chelsea being the main story. The Reds are not usually involved in public sagas, but this has represented that can reasonably be described as that and then some. Moisés Caicedo is the man at the center of the tussle. In a very shortened version of the full story, Liverpool initially looked to have stolen a march and become the favorite, only for Chelsea to emerge as the player’s preferred option. (You can read the longer version by clicking here, which also includes plenty on…
After a manic day on Friday, journalist Sacha Tavolieri reported on Twitter that the Blues had almost found a £55m agreement with Southampton for Lavia. “Agreement between CFC & Saints FC now close to 52M£ + 3M£ add-ons,” Tavolieri says. “Not a done deal yet as it left some extra information to be exchanged tomorrow even if Soton accepted the fee as revealed this evening. “Blues wants to extend the number of contract years from 5 to 7 years contract + one year option as for Lesley Ugochukwu. “Been told Chelsea FC wants to anticipate a possibly last minute hijack from Liverpool…
Moises Caicedo has had his sights set on a Brighton exit for a long, long time. The Ecuador international came close to departing the Amex for Arsenal in January, only for the Seagulls to reject two bids with the second worth £70m. The 21-year-old would release a statement on social media begging the club to let him leave, only to sign an improved contract in March after such pleas were ignored. Chelsea were also interested at the time and have been courting him ever since, resulting in four rejected bids, with the highest totalling £80m, as Brighton held out for…

Jurgen Klopp even confirmed that Liverpool had agreed a deal but in a stunning turn of events his team could now leave the race for Caicedo entirely, as per transfer guru Fabrizio Romano. Despite Liverpool’s triple-figure bid, Chelsea were still confident they could sign Caicedo and a new bid is now being prepared which will be a drastic improvement on their last few offers. According to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth, the offer could be as high…
Liverpool are facing more potential disappointment in the transfer market as Chelsea threaten to snatch Moises Caicedo from under their noses, an issue that is becoming a familiar irritation for Jurgen Klopp. The Reds thought they had pulled off a transfer coup when they agreed a £110million fee with Brighton for the midfielder in the early hours of Friday morning, only for their Premier League rivals to make a last-gasp attempt to beat their offer. Chelsea are ready to fight Liverpool down to the wire to sign the 21-year-old after being caught off guard by the Merseyside club’s record-breaking offer.…
Amid all the hullabaloo surrounding the remarkable transfer pursuit of Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo during the last 48 hours, one trifling matter has been in danger of being overlooked. That it comes against Chelsea, the club who they attempted to gazump for the Ecuador international with a sensational £110million offer in the earlier hours of Friday morning, merely adds an extra layer of intrigue to what will be an instructive afternoon at Stamford Bridge. Certainly, the warning signs were glaringly obvious when Liverpool began their previous campaign not far down the road at Fulham, a troubling performance against the newly-promoted…
Fans have called for Jurgen Klopp’s resignation after the Liverpool manager’s words came back to haunt him. Liverpool are expected to complete the £111million signing of Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo after outbidding rivals Chelsea. The transfer marks a British record fee for a player, surpassing Declan Rice’s recent £105m move to Arsenal. It means the Reds have now splashed a gargantuan sum of over £200m on midfielders alone this summer, having already signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. But Liverpool’s mammoth spending has caught the attention of rival fans, who have now brought up old comments from Reds manager Jurgen Klopp slamming…

Liverpool were ready to walk away from a deal on Friday evening just hours after they agreed a British record transfer fee of a whopping £110million – which looked to have won them the race. The 21-year-old midfielder reportedly told Liverpool that he preferred a move to the London club despite their mammoth bid, with Todd Boehly’s staff reopening talks following the lunchtime update. Fabrizio Romano reported that Chelsea are back in contact with Brighton as of 8:45pm on…
