Chelsea announces an urgent Moises Caicedo backup plan, in light of Mauricio Pochettino’s £98 million shortlist.

Since the beginning of the summer transfer window, Chelsea has been searching for a new holding midfielder. With less than three weeks left in the window, the Blues still have time to make a move.

Moises Caicedo’s chances of joining Chelsea have been severely hurt, so Mauricio Pochettino needs to find a replacement.

For the majority of the summer transfer window, Stamford Bridge was frequently mentioned as a potential destination for the 21-year-old midfielder.
However, the Blues now appear to be out of luck.

The Athletic claims that Liverpool and Brighton have agreed on a price of £110 million for Caicedo’s transfer. According to the report, the Seagulls held an auction with Thursday night as the deadline.

According to reports, Chelsea made an offer of £100 million, but the Reds outbid them. The Athletic adds that a medical has been scheduled for Friday in Merseyside, and the Ecuadorian international is anticipated to reach a personal agreement with Jurgen Klopp’s squad.

Football then, with that said. London has looked at three players Chelsea should sign if Liverpool is successful in landing Caicedo.

Romeo Lavia.

On Wednesday night, football, Chelsea sent Southampton a bid of £48 million, plus add-ons, for Romeo Lavia. London is aware. The asking price for the Saints, which Liverpool has yet to meet after three attempts, is £2 million less than what is being proposed.

The Blues are reportedly in talks with Southampton, who are willing to sell the 19-year-old after being demoted to the Championship. Romeo Lavia has long been admired by Chelsea, and he has been a player they have been keeping an eye on. London has a grasp of it.

A couple of months ago, the west Londoners and the Saints began preliminary negotiations regarding a potential deal, but nothing developed. Now that Caicedo is expected to sign with the Reds, the west Londoners seem to have picked up their pursuit of the teen sensation.

Sofyan Amrabat

Sofyan Amrabat has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League following his eye-catching performances for Morocco at the World Cup in Dubai. It may be challenging to complete a potential deal because the 26-year-old has reportedly drawn interest from clubs like Atletico Madrid and Juventus.

Amrabat would be a wise addition to the Blues midfield and is available for as little as £30 million. He would bring much-needed experience. While the Fiorentina star isn’t necessarily as skilled at winning the ball as Caicedo – like Lavia – he had the ability to control play, allowing Enzo Fernandez to roam forward and take advantage of his technical prowess in the final third.

Tyler Adams.

Tyler Adams’ relegation clause in his contract with Leeds United was activated by Chelsea on Thursday, according to football.london is aware.
The Blues and the agent of the 24-year-old reportedly reached a personal agreement in London, and now medical exams will be conducted.

Adams’ hamstring injury from last season is unfortunately still bothering him, so there is no rush to get him to Stamford Bridge. Nevertheless, the Blues are rumored to have a huge admiration for him and they fully anticipate signing him in the near future.

The addition of the American international would improve Pochettino’s options in the middle of the field, but Lavia and Amrabat, who he would probably replace, would still need to be brought in after him.

Ultimatum.

Chelsea would acquire all three in a perfect world. Lavia still needs to be acquired, though, and Amrabat appears destined for Atletico Madrid.
