Chelsea to Sign Moises Caicedo in Record-breaking Transfer Deal
[Portal Korea] – 14th August 2023, 12:24
A groundbreaking transfer deal is set to take place as Chelsea Football Club has reportedly reached an agreement with Brighton & Hove Albion to sign Moises Caicedo. According to trusted European football reporter, David Onstein from ‘The Athletic’, Chelsea will pay an astounding £115 million (approximately 194.2 billion won) to secure the Ecuadorian midfielder, with an additional option to sign him.
This news comes after Chelsea underwent major ownership changes, with long-time owner Roman Abramovich departing last summer due to British government sanctions caused by the Russo-Ukrainian War. Abramovich’s successor, Todd Boelli, an American businessman, has received positive reception within the European football community, unlike other American owners such as those at Manchester United, Liverpool, and AC Milan. Boelli’s commitment to investing in the club and his dedication to the team’s success has shattered previously held stereotypes.
Chelsea has shown their willingness to take risks in the transfer market, as demonstrated by their acquisitions during the previous season. Last year, they surprised everyone by investing close to 1 trillion won in the transfer market, including the historic signing of Enzo Fernandez. The club paid a remarkable 107 million pounds (approximately 180.6 billion won) for the 22-year-old midfielder, who had limited experience in the Argentine league and had only recently joined SL Benfica in Portugal. Now, they have once again made an unconventional move by agreeing to recruit Caicedo, who has only one year of Premier League experience.
The question now arises: can Chelsea’s ambitious investment, totaling 122 million pounds (around 370.4 billion won) for these two midfielders, lead to a successful outcome? Only time will tell.

[스포탈코리아] Reporter Dong-Eon Dong = Eventually, Chelsea overtook Liverpool and agreed to sign Moises Caisedo with Brighton & Hove Albion (hereinafter referred to as Brighton).
On the 14th (Korea time), reporter David Onstein of ‘The Athletic’, who has the best public confidence in European football, covered the Caisedo news. Onstein said on his social media account, “Chelsea have agreed with Brighton to pay £115 million (about 194.2 billion won) including an additional option to sign Caicedo.”
Chelsea left long-time owner Roman Abramovich last summer. Due to British government sanctions due to the Russo-Ukrainian War, they had to face an inevitable farewell. After Abramovich was sacked, the newly appointed owner was Todd Boelli from the United States.
In the case of Manchester United (hereafter referred to as Man Utd), Liverpool, and AC Milan (hereafter referred to as Milan), the feeling in the European football world towards the owner of the United States is good. This is because the owners of Manchester United, Liverpool and Milan are all vicious owners who took the club’s loss for personal gain, not for the benefit of the team.
The stereotype of Boelli, an American, was completely broken from the first transfer window after taking office. Boelli shocked the European football world by investing close to 1 trillion won in the transfer market last season alone. In particular, the transfer of Enzo Fernandez was an unprecedented transfer in football history.
Chelsea paid 107 million pounds (about 180.6 billion won) for the 22-year-old player, who had only been playing in the Argentinian league and transferred to SL Benfica in Portugal just six months ago. No matter how urgent the consolidation, it is an unusual bet on a resource that has not been verified on the European stage.
This summer Chelsea made another unconventional bet. He also agreed to recruit Caice, who had just one year of Premier League experience in Europe. He also made a comeback by breaking the Premier League transfer fee record they set six months ago.
Can Chelsea’s bet, which shot 122 million pounds (about 370.4 billion won) for two midfielders, have a happy ending?
