Reporter Yoo Hyeon-tae = Brighton & Hove Albion intend to keep Moises Caicedo at least until the end of the season.
According to the British public media’BBC’ reported on the 30th (hereinafter Korean time), Brighton gave Caicedo, who recently publicly requested a transfer, a vacation until the end of the January transfer window. Even in the FA Cup match where Brighton beat Liverpool 2-1 on the 29th, Caicedo could not be found.
“I want Caicedo to finish the season with Brighton,” manager Roberto De Gerbi said. It’s bound to be a huge blow to us,” he said.
Brighton are currently in 6th place in the league. Depending on the results of the cup competition, it is possible to secure a ticket to the Europa League, at least the Conference League. Coach De Zerbi showed confidence, saying, “I’m ready to fight as long as I don’t lose Caicedo.”
Caicedo is attracting attention from big clubs based on his outstanding performance in the league and his performance in the World Cup. Arsenal offered Brighton £60 million (approximately 91.7 billion won) for Caicedo, but was rejected. It is known that Chelsea had earlier offered £55 million 토토사이트, but was rejected.
Brighton and Caicedo have contracts until the summer of 2025, with two and a half years left on the contract.
Caicedo is a 21-year-old midfielder from Ecuador. After joining Brighton in February 2021 and going through rental life in the Belgian league, he settled in the Brighton first team in January of last year. It’s his first step into the big leagues, but he’s doing well on both sides of the offense and defense.
