The Ecuadorian player moises caicedo was about to be hired by the Arsenal, in the last winter market. The 21-year-old midfielder expressed his desire to leave the Brighton & Hove Albion after they rejected an initial offer from the ‘Gunners’ of 70 million euros. The current leader of the Premier League increased his offer to 80 million, but the ‘seagulls’ remained firm and Mikel Arteta had to change his plans and hire Jorginho, who had lost prominence at Chelsea in recent months.
After the novel between the two teams mentioned for the sale of the South American, which ended up dissolving, Paul Barber, executive director of the ‘Gaviotas’, allowed himself to make jokes about the offer of the ‘Cañoneros’. His statements were given to ‘The Beautiful Game Podcast’ and have drawn the attention of fans of the teams involved and other fans of the beautiful game.
After many negotiations, and even a punishment imposed on the Tricolor soccer player who wanted to leave the club, the manager reiterated that the financial offer was not enough. “It was only enough if they wanted half the playerBarber said. “Jokes aside, we never give numbers. We are amused when we see them in the media because they have not come from us”, he added.
Brighton renew Moisés Caicedo until 2027
Moises Caicedo was separated from the group until his situation was resolved. He even posted, on his personal Instagram account, a farewell letter from him and expressed his desire to leave the squad. However, after the January transfer window ended, he returned to training and in March renewed his contract with Brighton until June 2027.
The midfielder arrived in 2021 from Independiente del Valle and after a brief loan spell at Belgian side Beerschot, he established himself in the first team under Graham Potter and now Roberto De Zerbi. He has participated in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, with Ecuador, and, in the current season, he was only absent in five games between the Premier League, FA Cup and EFL Cup.
