Chelsea have been dealt a huge blow in their pursuit of Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo, MySportDab reports
The Ecuadorian midfield sensation, who has been on the transfer radar since last summer, is now being targeted by Chelsea.
Caicedo attempted a failed move to Arsenal last summer but is now a top target for Chelsea who are keen on signing the highly-rated midfielder this summer.
Chelsea have tabled four big offers for Moises Caicedo which has been turned down by Brighton.
After the ill-fated transfer saga last summer, Brighton tied down Moises Caicedo to a new contract.
However, MySportDab understand the Seagulls are willing to let Moises Caicedo leave this summer but at the right offer.
Brighton want £100m for Moises Caicedo and have remained unyielding on the asking price despite having four offers from Chelsea.
Chelsea’s latest offer for Moises Caicedo was £80m but it was turned down outrightly by the Seagulls.
With no breakthrough from Chelsea’s marathon of bids for the player, the Blues have now suffered a big transfer blow in their pursuit of Moises Caicedo.
According to reports reaching from Daily Mail, Brighton are expecting Moises Caicedo to stay at the club if they don’t have the required offer from interested clubs before the transfer window closes.
This means Chelsea will have to forked out £100m for Caicedo if they want to sign the player.
Meanwhile, reports reaching us from the Sun says Chelsea are preparing a £90m fifth bid for Moises Caicedo which will also be likely turned down by the club.
