Liverpool will reportedly hijack Chelsea’s deal for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo, if Jordan Henderson and Fabinho end up leaving.
With their midfield duo potentially leaving for Saudi Arabia, Liverpool are looking to bolster their midfield options and view Caicedo as an excellent potential addition to the squad. According to talkSPORT, although Chelsea remain the favourites to sign Caicedo, Liverpool could still make a late bid to disrupt their plans, if they lose both Henderson and Fabinho.
Brighton value the player at £100m and if Liverpool offer higher than Chelsea, the Seagulls remain open to selling him to the highest bidder. The sales of Henderson and Fabinho would provide Liverpool with a significant budget to invest in midfield reinforcements. While the skipper could fetch around £10m ($13m), Al Ittihad are ready to approach them with a substantial bid of £40m ($52m) for the Brazilian midfielder. This gives them £50m ($63m) upfront to reinvest. Moreover, Southampton’s Romeo Lavia is also being considered by Liverpool, with the Saints valuing the young Belgian at £50 million ($63m).
