Enzo Fernandez reacts as Chelsea edge closer to announce World class signing ahead of Liverpool clash
Enzo Fernandez reacted on social media as Chelsea edge closer to completing the signing of Moises Caicedo from Brighton & Hove Albion. The Blues are reportedly set to tie the Ecuadorian midfielder down to an eight-year contract till 2031.
The Blues agreed personal terms with Caicedo at the end of May. The midfielder, touted as one of the best in his position in the Premier League, though, was linked with a move to Liverpool. The Reds made a British record £110 million offer, which was accepted by Brighton.
Caicedo, though, informed Liverpool that he only wants to join the Blues. The 21-year-old is now on the verge of completing a move to Stamford Bridge. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano tweeted that Caicedo will sign a contract till 2031 with an option to extend his stay by a year.Enzo Fernandez, who was signed from Benfica for a British record transfer fee of €121 million by Chelsea in January, liked the post.
Caicedo is now set to play alongside the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner at the heart of the Blues’ midfield.
