Chelsea to bypass FFP with 9-year contract offer to Caicedo

When it comes to landing Moises Caicedo at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea fans can trust their club has plans that rivals whatever bid Liverpool made a few nights ago.

Chelsea Football Club is reportedly on the verge of securing the monumental signing of Brighton star, Moises Caicedo with a perfectly laid out trick that was used to get Enzo Fernandez at the Bridge.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the Ecuadorian midfielder is set to be offered an astonishing nine-year contract by Chelsea, an unprecedented move in modern football.

The deal, said to be valid until June 2031, is also said to include an option to extend for an additional year, potentially cementing a nine-year stay at Stamford Bridge.

The Chelsea owner, Todd Boehly, has exhibited a penchant for brokering lengthy deals, a fact highlighted by the eight-and-a-half-year contracts awarded to both Mykhailo Mudryk and Enzo Fernandez.

This apparent commitment to long-term relationships underscores the club’s dedication to nurturing talent and ensuring stability.

Having reportedly turned down a move to Liverpool, Caicedo’s imminent transfer to Chelsea comes with a remarkable British-record price tag of £115 million. This sensational figure underscores the club’s determination to secure the services of the highly regarded 21-year-old midfielder.

Brighton’s recent match against Luton Town saw Caicedo conspicuously absent from the matchday squad, further fueling speculation about his imminent departure.

With the transfer deadline looming, it appears that Chelsea is now positioned to finalize the deal.

Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea’s head coach, indirectly acknowledged the ongoing saga in his pre-match press conference on Friday.

While he refrained from discussing players not currently associated with the club, he hinted at the team’s ambitious efforts to enhance its squad quality.

Caicedo’s rise to prominence was marked by a standout performance during the previous season, where he featured in an impressive 37 league games for Brighton.

His contributions were recognized and celebrated by the club, as he clinched both the Player of the Season and Player’s Player of the Season awards.

Fate being a trickster, Chelsea is set to kick off their Premier League campaign with on-pitch hostilities against Liverpool on home soil today.
