Title: Brighton’s Plan to Retain Moises Caicedo Despite Chelsea InterestBrighton midfielder Moises Caicedo has garnered significant attention from Chelsea, but the club’s manager, Roberto de Zerbi, remains determined to keep him in the squad for the upcoming season.Having made his Premier League debut in April 2022, Caicedo has since played 53 matches for Brighton, scoring two goals during his time with the club. Chelsea’s long-term interest in the 21-year-old led them to submit a substantial £70m bid, which Brighton promptly rejected.Arsenal had also shown interest in signing the Ecuadorian midfielder in January, making him a highly sought-after player in the transfer market.Roberto de Zerbi spoke about Caicedo’s situation during the Premier League Summer Series in the United States, where Brighton is participating alongside five other English clubs, including Chelsea. He emphasized, At the moment, Moises is a Brighton player. I spoke with club owner Tony Bloom, and he assured me that unless the conditions change, Caicedo will remain with us.De Zerbi expressed his excitement about retaining Caicedo, stating, It’s great news because finding another player like Moises would be challenging. If he were to leave, we’d have to find a player of similar caliber to maintain the quality needed to compete next season. We have ambitions to perform at our best level and qualify for the Europa League.Following Brighton’s impressive sixth-place finish in the previous Premier League season, the club secured qualification for European competition.There were reports suggesting that after Caicedo extended his contract in February, De Zerbi and the player had an agreement that he could leave Brighton in the summer transfer window. However, the manager refuted these claims, clarifying, I am a coach, not an owner or sporting director. I communicate with my players regularly, but I never made any promises regarding transfers. As far as I’m concerned, Caicedo is a player like any other, and I’m planning to start the next season with him as a key player in the first 11.A potential transfer swap could provide a resolution for both clubs, as Brighton is interested in bringing Chelsea’s 20-year-old centre-back, Levi Colwill, back to the club permanently. Colwill had a successful loan spell at Brighton, helping them secure Europa League football. The young defender was also part of the England Under-21 squad that won the European Championships without conceding a single goal.When asked about potential solutions, De Zerbi mentioned, I don’t know yet. There are two questions to consider—both Caicedo and Colwill. Perhaps a swap deal could be a possibility.The Summer Series will kick off with a match between Chelsea and Brighton, further spotlighting the talented players involved.Stay updated with comprehensive coverage of your Premier League club by following them and receiving notifications through the Sport News Center app, ensuring you never miss a moment of the action.
