As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Brighton are now awaiting an official bid from Liverpool for Moises Caicedo.

The player is in London awaiting a decision on his future. He will be informed which bid has been accepted. Brighton will sell to the highest bidder.

Chelsea have been working on the deal all summer but are yet to reach an agreement. The belief is both clubs will have to hit £100million for a deal to be done. This would break Liverpool’s transfer record.

If Liverpool miss out on Caicedo the feeling is they will quickly pivot their attention to Romeo Lavia. Southampton still want £50million for the midfielder.

The race is on, and Liverpool are right in it!
