In the heart of the summer transfer window, Stamford Bridge has been buzzing with activity. Chelsea and Liverpool, two of the Premier League’s giants, are gearing up for a Sunday showdown, but it’s not just the on-pitch battle that’s drawing attention. Chelsea’s top brass, led by Todd Boehly, is said to be orchestrating a grand unveiling of Moises Caicedo during the half-time break of their face-off against Liverpool. If the Ecuadorian prodigy graces the Stamford Bridge turf, it would be a stinging setback for the Merseyside club. Just days ago, Liverpool had seemingly secured Caicedo’s signature from Brighton with a…
Liverpool faces Chelsea at Stamford Bridge later today in the opening match of the Premier League season for the pair but the focus has almost exclusively been on the pursuit of Brighton’s Moisés Caicedo — and to some extent Southampton’s Roméo Lavia — over the last few days. Whatever happens in the transfer market, Liverpool could really do with getting one over Chelsea to make a real statement at the very beginning of the new season. Given the number of changes that Mauricio Pochettino has had to oversee, it might not be the worst time to be facing his side. We asked Liverpool…
It is game day! This afternoon, Chelsea will host Liverpool at Stamford Bridge as both teams try to get the 2018 Premier League season off to a good start. In each of their previous four meetings, it has ended 0-0 after 90 minutes but, as the Mosies Caicedo tug-of-war prolongs, it looks set to be a feisty affair. It’s believed that Liverpool were first to agree a deal with Brighton for the 21-year-old midfielder, who actually prefers a move to west London. Nevertheless, the transfer race seems to be coming to an end but it remains to be seen who will…
Thomas Tuchel has admitted his Bayern Munich side “didn’t create enough” for Harry Kane as the England captain’s debut ended in defeat. Kane came off the bench in the DFB Supercup – Germany’s equivalent of the Community Shield – less than 24 hours after his record-breaking move was made official. Bayern were trailing to RB Leipzig when the new signing came onto the field, and ended up losing 3-0 courtesy of a Dani Olmo hat-trick. “We don’t expect him to be the superhero,” Tuchel told reporters after the game. “We just expect him to be who he is. A top guy, a…
Hello and welcome to our dedicated Liverpool live blog for Sunday, August 13. Stick with us as we bring you all the latest on Liverpool’s tug-of-war pursuit of Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo. The Reds are refusing to walk away from their bid to sign the 21-year-old – as Chelsea prepare to splash out a British record £115million for the player. The Reds stole a march on the Londoners when Brighton accepted a bid of around £110m for Caicedo in the early hours of Friday morning, with the Seagulls having set a midnight cut-off for their auction of…
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…
