Liverpool is about to complete a record $110 million deal for Moises Caicedo of Brighton.

According to talkSPORT, Liverpool and Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo are about to finalize a record-breaking £110 million deal.

Caicedo could get a medical as soon as this Friday because the Reds have outbid Chelsea in the race to sign him.

The final amount will surpass the previous British record, which was £105 million, which Arsenal paid West Ham to acquire Declan Rice earlier this summer.

It will also break Liverpool’s record player transfer, currently held by Virgil van Dijk’s £75 million purchase from Southampton in January 2018—although the price tag on Darwin Nunez’s transfer could rise to £85 million.

As Caicedo is poised for a Merseyside switch, this saga that has dragged on all summer appears to finally come to an end with a surprise turn.

He appeared to be joining Chelsea, who made the 21-year-old’s first significant summer transfer move.

Caicedo has received two offers from Chelsea, but both fell short of Brighton’s £100 million valuation of the player.

It gave Liverpool the opportunity to act, and at their first attempt, they outbid the Seagulls in price and appear poised to close the deal.

After allowing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita, and James Milner to leave after their contracts expired, Jurgen Klopp’s team was always in need of a rebuild in the midfield.

They made a good start to the transfer window by bringing in World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister, who played with Caicedo at Brighton, and Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig.

However, when both Fabinho and club captain Jordan Henderson left Anfield for lucrative jobs in Saudi Arabia, their midfield shortages reached almost emergency levels.

Romeo Lavia, a star for Southampton who appeared destined for a move to Liverpool, may now be the focus of Chelsea’s attention.

Chelsea saw an opportunity to pounce on the Reds’ refusal to meet Saints’ £50m asking price for the 19-year-old.

But the Championship club is likely to reject Chelsea’s most recent offer of £48 million.

Thiago makes transfer decisions, as Al-Ettifaq sends Liverpool an “apologetic” letter regarding Jordan Henderson

Media Digest: Thiago has made up his mind amid transfer rumors, and Jordan Henderson has apologized to Liverpool through Al Ettifaq’s official channels.

Jordan Henderson “apologetic” statement from Al-Ettifaq.

Al-Ettifaq has “apologized” to Liverpool supporters on Twitter. Jordan Henderson was recently acquired by the Steven Gerrard-coached Saudi team, who made him captain of their most recent match.

The reality is more ironic, despite the fact that some Liverpool employees might feel they should apologize for the way the Saudi club initially tried to sign the Reds captain for nothing (Guardian). Al-Ettifaq apologized for printing “EFC” on the back of Henderson’s shirt through their social media channel.

These initials, which are also those of the Ettifaq Football Club, are connected to the English football team Everton and are located just below the prancing horse logo on the neck of the Saudi team’s jerseys. The club account joked, “At least it’s not blue,” enticing supporters to purchase the number 10 shirt before it sells out.

Due to the captain’s prior decision to speak out as an ally of the LGBT community, Henderson has drawn a great deal of criticism for his decision to move to Saudi Arabia—far more than Fabinho—but this seeming lighthearted post highlights the fact that Liverpool is also facing some ethical challenges. Given that the league has been referred to as a sportswashing project (Guardian), it’s less than ideal that Al Ettifaq is already using its name to help the organization market itself.

Thiago’s choice to transfer.

Surprisingly, during the transfer window, Thiago has also been connected to several moves away. Only Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott would be left from the midfield that Jürgen Klopp famously deemed fit for purpose prior to last season if the Spaniard left along with Henderson, Fabinho, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita.

Thankfully, it appears that Thiago has made a decision. Fabrizio Romano has disabled links to Sevilla in a post on Twitter:.

Despite their connections, Thiago Alcântara and Sevilla have not engaged in any negotiations or talks. Thiago Only considering Liverpool.

Thiago has assumed a crucial role as an experienced leader in a shifting midfield after initially being perceived as one of the Liverpool candidates with the highest likelihood of leaving the club this summer. Given his strong defensive statistics, he might also start the season as one of the top choices for the number six position.

Revealed: Kylian Mbappe has a ‘big’ admirer in Liverpool, and sponsors are willing to pay up for a’sensational’ deal.

According to sources who spoke to Football Insider, Kylian Mbappe has a “huge” admiration for Liverpool and would prefer to sign with them on a sensational season-long loan than any of his many other suitors worldwide.

However, there is little chance that the star player from Paris Saint-Germain will make an unexpected transfer to Anfield before the window closes.

As Mbappe looks for a solution for the last year of his contract, Jurgen Klopp publicly laughed off the possibility earlier this week.

Because PSG knew he wouldn’t sign a contract extension, they dropped the 24-year-old from their preseason tour of South Korea and Japan on July 21 and put him up for sale. They wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

When he becomes a free agent in the summer of 2019, they think he has already decided to sign with Real Madrid.

When his contract expires next summer, PSG does not want to let him leave for free. The impasse between the player and club worsened last week when he refused to talk about a possible one-year move to Saudi Arabia after Al Hilal submitted a world-record £259m bid.

The France sensation, who nearly signed with them as a 15-year-old but chose to sign with Monaco instead, has been linked to Liverpool as a possible destination.

Despite the fact that it would end the Frenchman’s problems with playing time, it would put PSG in a precarious position with regard to a potential fee before his contract expires.

The French powerhouses would be open to discussing a loan with a buyout clause before the summer of 2019, but Liverpool lacks the financial wherewithal to sign Mbappe to a long-term contract.

As it is believed that sponsors would contribute to the enormous salary demanded by the World Cup hat-trick hero, obtaining a loan would not be impossible.

Mbappe and his mother, who serves as his main agent, have a soft spot for Liverpool, but anything more than that is out of the question for the Merseysiders.

Both are rumored to be huge supporters of the team, the club, and the entertaining and watchable playing style that Klopp has cultivated.
