There are only a couple of days left until the winter market closes in Europe and it seems that there will still be important movements, one of them seems to be that of the Ecuadorian Moisés Caicedo, who did not show up for Brighton training and asked to leave the club.
The young midfielder has two offers to leave the Seagulls box, both from London. The first is from Chelsea who offered close to $68 million dollars and another from Arsenal for $74 million dollars. Apparently Caicedo will dress as Gunners for the second part of the season.
The player even posted a statement to the Brighton fans on Instagram apologizing and explaining his argument for why he wants to leave the team.
“I am grateful to Mr. Bloom and Brighton for giving me the chance to come to the Premier League…The fans have taken me into their hearts and will always be in my heart so I hope they can understand why I want to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.” , wrote the footballer.
On behalf of Brighton, they do not want to know anything about transferring the Ecuadorian and it would only be possible if they pay the clause that amounts to more than $100 million dollars, however Caicedo continues to put pressure with the absence in training and now this direct post to the team , so it is possible that the team ends up accepting the transaction fee.
The “Moi Boy” explained that he is proud to bring the largest transfer fee in history to the club, “I am proud to be able to generate a record transfer fee for Brighton that would allow them to reinvest it and help the club continue to be successful “.
Caicedo has become a key piece in the Gaviotas midfield, he has two goals and three assists so far this season and defensively he is the balance of the team that is sixth in the English Premier League.
