Cristiano Ronaldos Al-Nassr is linked to a summer transfer for Moises Caicedo, but Chelsea is not willing to let the midfielder go for slightly less than £ 100 million
Moises Caicedo will be established this summer as a major signing of the summer for Al-Nassr, according to reports, with the Chelsea midfielder TOP of the wish list of the Saudi Pro League Club. And that deal would see the most expensive signing in the Premier League history joined Cristiano Ronaldo and the company, because heavy investments continue in the rapidly changing Saudi competition.
Chelsea, who is preparing to draw up Legia Warsaw in the second stage of their Europa Conference League-significance, does not want to sell Caicedo and Al-Nassr is expected to pay around £ 100 million for the 23-year-old South American. The story was first reported by De Telegraaf.
Caicedo, who has been in a contract of eight years for only two years, moved to Stamford Bridge from Brighton for £ 115 million in the summer of 2024 and initially had trouble impressing Mauricio Pochettino. But this season he played more minutes than anyone else under Enzo Maresca, while Chelsea wants to secure a top five finish alongside their European hope.
Caicedo once scored and offered two assists, together with nine yellow cards, but his current head coach recently spoke about his admiration for the Ecuador International.
“At the moment I think he is one of the best or the best defensive midfielders in the world. He is doing fantastic,” said Maresca earlier this month.
“The best thing about Moi is that he works seriously every day, he is very modest, very nice, he is polite, he is a fantastic man.”
However, Chelsea is running a thin line around financial Fair Play regulations with the decision to sell the ladies team to the holding company of their owners, Blueco who is still analyzed by the Premier League about whether it has achieved their guidelines for the fair market value.
Another summer of large expenses will probably not occur without significant sales, while much will also depend on reaching the Champions League of next season.
He would only be the newest controversial signing of the Premier League for Al-Nassr after they had brought in the center of Aymeric Laporte from Manchester City and Aston Villa £ 71 million paid for Jhon Duran in January.
