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…
Chelsea are close to sealing the £115million signing of Moises Caicedo after he delayed his Liverpool medical, according to reports. Brighton midfielder Caicedo has been the subject of two British transfer record fees this week. The first came from Anfield chiefs on Thursday (August 10) and was worth £111m. It looked like the Reds had hijacked their Premier League rivals’ interest in him. But Caicedo didn’t travel to Merseyside for his medical as had been suggested on Friday. TalkSPORT claim the 21-year-old stalled on completing the move to give the Blues time to agree a deal – which The Telegraph report they’ve now nearly done…
Real Madrid needed to move quickly and they have done just that. With Thibaut Courtois suffering a torn ACL before the season had even started, the club needed to bring in a goalkeeper to take his place between the posts. It is possible that the Belgian might not return to action in the 2023/24 campaign. Real Madrid already have Andriy Lunin but the 24-year-old has not covered himself in glory with some of his recent displays. Thus, they needed to go out and add to their goalkeeping ranks. It looks like they have been successful in doing just that. And…
The battle for Moises Caicedo may finally be coming to an end. Despite Brighton being adamant about the deadline that Liverpool met handily, some of the more reliable Chelsea journalists like Matt Law in The Telegraph and Jacob Steinberg in The Guardian are reporting that the club are readying a £115 million bid for Moises Caicedo, eclipsing Liverpool’s previous £110-111 million bid from Thursday. It’s been clear all summer that Caicedo and his team wanted the Chelsea move, so all other parties are working to make that happen, despite Liverpool’s attempt to swoop in. The question now (and it’s still a…
There could be a frosty atmosphere in the Chelsea boardroom on Sunday afternoon over the Moises Caicedo transfer battle with Liverpool ’s owners in town. Led by principal owner John W Henry, members of the Fenway Sports Group have flown to London to take in the club’s opening game at Stamford Bridge. They left the USA in the belief that a British record bid of £110million would be securing the services of Brighton ’s midfield enforcer Caicedo. But now they could miss out on the Ecuador international with Chelsea owner Todd Boehly gazumping Liverpool with a £115 million offer in the belief…

Southampton boss Russell Martin has confirmed that reported Manchester United target Romeo Lavia did not play a part during his side’s clash Championship against Norwich due to the uncertainty around his immediate future. All summer, Lavia has been the subject of heavy interest from a number of top Premier League clubs, including United. In recent days, Chelsea and Liverpool have been involved in a hotly-contested battle to land Lavia’s services. Liverpool were thought to be leading the race to sign the midfielder, only for Chelsea to swoop in with a better offer for the 19-year-old to effectively become frontrunners. Earlier…

Manchester City sold winger Riyad Mahrez to Saudi side Ah-Ahli earlier in the window. While Mahrez had seen his role reduced in his last season under Pep Guardiola, he still provided a massive spark in the City attack. The club has failed to get in a replacement before the beginning of their Premier League campaign, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t moving closer towards a signing. Recent reports suggest Manchester City are close to agreeing to personal terms with a winger. Fabrizio Romano had revealed at the beginning of August that Jeremy Doku was on Manchester City’s shortlist of wingers to…
