According to a Football Insider report, Liverpool and the 19-year-old defensive midfielder have a personal contract in place. It is unclear at this time whether Liverpool and Southampton will be able to reach a similar deal. Apparently, Liverpool have offered up to £48 million for the Belgian midfielder. But Chelsea have offered a package of around £55 million. It is evident that the Blues are currently in the lead to sign the player. Chelsea need to bring in midfield reinforcements after the departure of N’Golo Kanté and Mateo Kovačić. The 19-year-old could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition and…

As Chelsea legend Ray Wilkins always observed, the greatest aroma in the world is freshly-mown grass – because it heralds the return of the football season. And what a blockbuster opener the Premier League has lined up for the Blues’ new head coach Mauricio Pochettino with the visit of Liverpool. Both teams are in transition and looking for a kickstart after a disappointing 2022/23 campaign, and you might reasonably expect goals at both ends. Except, amazingly, the past six meetings across all competitions between these heavyweight rivals have been draws, and the four most recent ended with neither side troubling the scoreboard. Nevertheless, Poch…

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues are working hard to signing the Brighton & Hove Albion star after hijacking Liverpool’s British-record bid to sign Caicedo, with Chelsea set to splash out £115m for the youngster. And now, Todd Boehly hopes to have the 21-year-old at Stamford Bridge later today when Chelsea host Liverpool in their Premier League opener, adding more salt to Jurgen Klopp’s wounds. Romano said: “They’re working at night because they hope to have Moises Caicedo at Stamford Bridge on Sunday for Chelsea vs Liverpool. Incredible game.” With Liverpool set to miss out on a transformative signing, Chelsea…

Moises Caicedo’s intention is to play for a ‘top club’ amid claims he only wants to leave Brighton and Hove Albion for Chelsea. The player has been involved in a dramatic transfer battle between Premier League rivals Liverpool and Chelsea but reports claim the Blues are close to agreeing a British record £115m for the player. Reports on Friday claimed Caicedo only wanted to join Chelsea after Liverpool had a £111m bid accepted by Brighton for the player. While the player’s preference is to move to Stamford Bridge, The Independent reports he is not against a move to Anfield with the midfielder keen to play…

Liverpool, it seems, is set to miss out on signing Moisés Caicedo. The Ecuadorian, at the time of writing, will be heading to Chelsea instead, signing an eight-year deal for a fee of $146m (£115m/€133m). According to The Telegraph, Chelsea will submit that amount and get the deal done after negotiating for the player on Saturday. By Sunday, he could be paraded around the Stamford Bridge pitch during the opening fixture of the new Premier League season against the Reds. But what happens then for Liverpool? A plan will need to be formed. Chiefly, that is likely to include Southampton’s…

Bet that the more things change the more they stay the same, when Liverpool head to Chelsea (4.30pm). After a summer of major outs and ins, the line-ups will be different. But amazingly Chelsea appear to have doubled down on the whole ‘no goalscorers’ thing, though partly by accident. Bundesliga bright spark Christopher Nkunku came in and promptly got injured, which means Nicolas Jackson, a La Liga prospect who Bournemouth rejected in January over an iffy hamstring, is the big idea. He’s the new Jamie Vardy according to Ben Chilwell, who was the new Ashley Cole. He’ll need to be. But even 20 goals would be…

The game of cat and mouse continues between Liverpool and Chelsea with both clubs identifying defensive midfield as a priority position in the remaining few weeks of the window, with Brighton’s Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia of Southampton the two favoured candidates. There has already been plenty of talk on the escalating bidding war surrounding the in-demand Caicedo, but in recent days Lavia has emerged as a key target for Mauricio Pochettino, with the Blues now ‘seriously moving’ and looking the likelier to land the 19-year-old, according to soccerhuz.com sources. Chelsea have offered over the £50million asking price set by…

Amid all the frantic chaos surrounding the Moisés Caicedo transfer saga, the Premier League encounter between Liverpool and Chelsea has almost been forgotten about. Already looking like a cagey affair, Caicedo will merely fuel the tensions, but one person in particular who is set to make his Premier League bow will relish that atmosphere in Dominik Szoboszlai. The Hungarian is a confident character, and has often stepped up for club and country when needed. He is also a man for the big occasions and has always made his mark pretty quickly. So far in pre-season, Szoboszlai has shown a lot…

Here’s a palate cleanser as we all wait impatiently for the transfer of Moises Caicedo to be finalized one way or another. Newly appointed captain Virgil van Dijk spoke to a select group of reporters on Saturday ahead of the Premier League opening clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and of course the conversation turned to transfers. It’s all anyone can talk about when talking about Liverpool, honestly. “The thing is, whether we need to sign a player for a particular position, yes or no, any top club at the moment would love to improve their squad,” van Dijk said, which…

After being linked with a move to Chelsea for the majority of the summer transfer window, Liverpool came in with a £111 million bid for Caicedo on Thursday night. Despite Liverpool and Brighton reaching an agreement, Caicedo has reported informed the Anfield club that he only wants to join Chelsea. Now, it is up to Chelsea to agree a fee with Brighton which is higher than Liverpool’s British record bid. However, it has been reported that Chelsea are yet to submit an improved bid for the Brighton midfielder. On Saturday afternoon, the Liverpool FC Help Twitter account tweeted: “Please be advised Stamford Bridge is a cashless…
