Brighton set to receive €116m up front for midfielder, with a further €17m in add-ons.
Brighton will receive €116m up front with a further €17m in add-ons as the long-running transfer saga appears finally to be coming to an end.
Caicedo is understood to have favoured a move to Stamford Bridge over Merseyside, but Chelsea had until now appeared reluctant to match Brighton owner Tony Bloom’s valuation of the player. Caicedo is due to undergo a medical and sign the deal that will likely elevate him to the most expensive player ever signed by an English club.
Liverpool’s interest in the last few days – and Brighton’s acceptance of the club’s bid – had made Chelsea’s situation more urgent, but the Stamford Bridge hierarchy are satisfied that the deal struck is reflective of Caicedo’s value.
