The twists keep coming in this unbelievable transfer story and after Moises Caicedo appeared to be a done deal, we’re now all left in limbo over this remarkable situation.
The most recent update comes from journalist Chris Williams who has reported: ‘Caicedo representatives confirm as far as they are aware Brighton have closed the deal and accepted Liverpool’s offer, but Chelsea have this morning presented an improved package to the player, and have contacted Brighton about new terms’.
A matter of hours ago, this wouldn’t seem possible that Chelsea were able to offer an ‘improved package’ but it seems that both the 21-year-old and Brighton are now willing to listen to the latest offer.
If we can take some solace from the fact that the Ecuadorian’s representatives seem to believe that they are set to accept a move to Anfield, then we clearly are progressing well in this move.
However, the Londoners seem to be growing in confidence of being able to make an offer that will work for everyone except us, something that should and will cause huge concern to us all.
It’s sickening to see a deal that looked all but completed to be falling apart in front of our face but if this transfer saga alone has taught us anything – it’s to expect the unexpected.

Walk away from this brinkmanship. Has no one any scruples in business anymore?
Chelsea should get nailed for their shenanigans and Brighton, if they have any integrity, will tell Chelsea to f@&k off. The deadline was 12 midnight last night. I hope we thrash them on Sunday. I have always said that the only good thing to come out of Chelsea are the buns, and even those have become stale.
New it was too good to be true!!
Chelsea should fuck off and leave us alone with Caicedo deal, i thought the claims to be richer why didn’t they bid higher than us and now the want to complicate everything for us.. Please lets my team(LFC) act fast to finalize everything and signed their man between now and tomorrow..
I do believe we are just fkin Chelsea for middling with Lavia transfer..now chelsea have to pay more for their main target..
