Asking price key for Liverpool in Moises Caicedo pursuit

Liverpool will make a move for Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo in the summer transfer window if the Seagulls reduce their asking price, according to CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs in CaughtOffSide.

Jacobs has said that Liverpool are looking at a number of midfielders, and among them is Ecuador international Caicedo. Newcastle United are also reported to be keen on the Brighton star.

The journalist said: “With Caicedo, keep an eye on Newcastle as well. Liverpool would need the price to drop from January to seriously consider entering the race. 

“They have tracked Caicedo since his time at Independiente del Valle and now the agent situation is less complicated, they can’t be entirely discounted. 

“Liverpool are looking at many midfielders, including Wolves’ Matheus Nunes. And their big push (in terms of desire and finances) will be for Jude Bellingham, where confidence remains despite heavy competition.”
