Chelsea ‘love the player’ – Blues in talks to sign up £100M midfielder

Italian Journalist Fabrizio Romano has opened up and claimed that CHELSEA are in talks with midfielder Moises Caicedo about extending his stay at Stamford Bridge, as they love the player

After establishing himself in the Premier League with Brighton, many had hoped that Caicedo would make an immediate impact at Chelsea after his massive £115 million transfer move to the Premier League giants.

His first few months did not go how he would have liked, but he has flourished under Enzo Maresca this season and has really made that central midfield position his own as he now looks like the player many had hoped he would become.

And according to Romano, Chelsea have opened talks with the midfielder about a new deal, He says: “My understanding is that Chelsea, internally, are preparing a new contract proposal to be discussed.

“[They’re] not in a rush because the contract is still very long, but [it’s] to be discussed [in the] next months with Moises Caicedo because they love the player. They have a feeling that many top clubs around Europe are really appreciating him.

Caicedo recently claimed it was a dream to play for Chelsea – ‘It’s a dream come true,’ he told the club website

‘It’s a great feeling [playing for CHELSEA],‘You always prepare for this moment and now you are here at Stamford Bridge with your fans and winning games. You are helping the team and it’s amazing – sometimes I go home and just smile.

‘This season, so far, we are doing fantastically, but for sure, all the players, the head coach, and the staff want us to do the same for the rest of the season.’

‘When you come to a big club you always need to know that people are going to talk about you. It was me in that moment [after joining] and I suffered a little bit. But this is football and in football, this happens a lot.

‘You need to be strong, to have a strong mentality, and to have good people around you to help you. I have that; my people support me in every moment and I’m so happy about that.

‘I think he [Maresca] is happy with me because I always try to show him I want to help the team. He can see that in every game. I’m happy working with him, he is helping us a lot. All the players and staff are happy with how we are doing now.’
