Chief executive OFFICIALLY reveals if Chelsea have made offer to sign £60M powerhouse

Brighton chief executive Paul Barber has revealed the club have not received any offers for midfielder and Chelsea target Moises Caicedo.

Sky Sports News revealed that Chelsea and Liverpool are interested in the player, with Blues manager Graham Potter joking last season, as Brighton boss, that £42m would not even get Caicedo’s boots.

Caicedo has two-and-a-half years left on his contract and Brighton are aware of the interest in the player – but one interesting development this month concerns his representation. It’s understood he will move to a new agency – thought to be Futbol Division.

However – despite all the rumours and all the speculation that offers have arrived from the talented midfielder – Barber has opened up and revealed that nothing has arrived yet for his star midfielder.

“I’m pleased to say we haven’t had any. Maybe Liverpool haven’t got my email because I haven’t seen any,” Barber told CBS Sports.

“I’m not sure £42m will even include the boots now, maybe just the laces. But joking aside, every player’s value is ultimately determined by the market.

“Graham’s comments were part in jest but part serious because Moises has been an exceptional player for us.

“Since he came to the Premier League, he has developed all the time. He’s a young man with a great attitude, fantastic work ethic and a very nice human being off the pitch.

“So all those things contribute to the value of a footballer should it come to that moment to sell.”

The Transfer window has literally just opened and there is plenty of time to see offers arrive – but if he does sign for Chelsea – it will be a great move for the midfielder and the Blues – they are lacking a star like him in the middle of the pitch
