Chelsea ready for Caicedo talks
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea is set to initiate official discussions with Brighton regarding the transfer of Moises Caicedo before the week concludes. Personal terms are expected to pose no complications, as Chelsea has already concluded deals to offload several undesired first-team players. However, the negotiation of a transfer fee with Brighton is anticipated to be challenging, despite Chelsea’s desire to reach an agreement promptly.
According to reports from 90 Min, Porto has allegedly made Diogo Costa available for transfer this summer as the club aims to generate funds. The Portuguese club is reportedly open to allowing their goalkeeper to leave. The report further suggests that both Manchester United and Chelsea have been approached regarding a potential transfer of the player.
