Arsenal seems to have decided to pay a large transfer fee in a lump sum to sign Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo.
Journalist Jake Talbot, who worked for the British media ‘Guardian’ and ‘Mirror’, reported on his SNS on the 31st (Korean time), “There is some movement between Moises Caicedo and Arsenal.”
Ecuador’s national team’s main midfielder Caicedo, despite his young age, has grown into a key player for Brighton by playing on the Premier League stage. Brighton led a sensation within the Premier League and climbed to 6th place, and Caicedo also contributed a considerable part.
Caicedo, who played an active role in the central midfielder position based on his vigorous activity and excellent defense, is attracting the attention of top teams such as Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool throughout the winter transfer market.
Among them, Arsenal was active by actually sending offers to recruit Kaisedo several times.
Arsenal currently has no defensive midfielder resources other than Thomas Partey. Mohamed Elneni is long-term injured, and Albert-Sambi Rokonga is not playing his part. That’s why it is essential to recruit Kaisedo to digest the schedule for the second 메이저놀이터 half.
On the 30th, reporter Fabrizio Romano, a transfer market expert, reported Arsenal’s efforts to recruit Caicedo, saying, “Brighton rejected a second offer worth 70 million pounds (about 107 billion won), including an option from Arsenal for Caicedo.” .
However, despite Arsenal’s efforts, Brighton maintained a position that they would never sell to maintain good performance in the second half of this season.
On the other hand, Caicedo expressed his desire to transfer by announcing a statement himself to join Arsenal.
When Brighton rejected Arsenal’s first offer of 60 million euros, he even issued a statement through social media that he wanted a transfer and refused to attend training, and he is still on vacation.
In the midst of this, news emerged that Arsenal at the end of the transfer market made a big decision to recruit Kaisedo, and that Brighton’s thoughts had changed to some extent.
Reporter Talbot predicted that Arsenal’s decision to sign Moises Caicedo would have been agreed, saying, “As far as I understand, Arsenal have submitted a third offer. This is a very large lump sum payment structure, and the deal has been agreed.”
Arsenal are finding it difficult to recruit Caicedo, and there have been reports that they are also interested in signing Jorginho from Chelsea and Yuri Tilemance from Leicester City, but according to Talbot’s remarks, it seems that they once again sent an offer to sign Caicedo.
In particular, considering that the previous offer was £70 million, Arsenal is highly likely to offer Brighton a club-record amount exceeding £72 million (approximately KRW 109.4 billion), which was recorded at the time of signing Nicolas Pepe, in this offer, so the transfer is likely to be completed. is not small.
Arsenal, who had an unexpected lead this season and had a chance to win, will succeed in recruiting the most wanted midfielder in the winter transfer market and prepare a stepping stone for an upward trend in the second half. Many fans will be interested on the last day of the transfer market.
