According to Fabrizio Romano, Caicedo’s heart is set on a Chelsea move, as he had previously reached personal terms with the club.
In a surprising turn of events, The Guardian reports that Chelsea is ready to increase their bid for Caicedo, attempting to outmanoeuvre Liverpool’s £110 million agreement with Brighton.
The Seagulls had declined Chelsea’s initial £100 million offer.
In a late twist, it now appears highly likely that Caicedo will be donning Chelsea’s colours, rather than joining Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

After contemplating Chelsea’s renewed pursuit of his signature, Caicedo experienced “second thoughts” about his intended transfer to Anfield, as reported by Sky Sports.
Despite a scheduled visit to Liverpool for contract discussions and a medical examination, Caicedo and his associates chose to remain in London, deliberating over his future course.
Chelsea’s keen interest in Caicedo underscores their determination to bolster the core of their team, particularly following the departures of Mateo Kovacic and N’Golo Kante.
Notably, Chelsea also submitted a bid for Romeo Lavia, a player on Klopp’s radar.
