Liverpool is currently engaged in negotiations with Brighton regarding a potential agreement for Moises Caicedo, should his move to Chelsea fall through. The clubs have been in talks regarding the financial aspects and payment arrangement of the transfer, as Liverpool contemplates approving the largest expenditure they have ever undertaken.
Brighton prices Caicedo at approximately £100m, prompting Liverpool to enter negotiations after Chelsea's inability to reach a fee agreement. Despite Brighton's instant rejection of their third offer of £80m in July.

Liverpool is currently engaged in negotiations with Brighton regarding Moises Caicedo, but they anticipate that he will ultimately join Chelsea. Nevertheless, the prevailing belief at Anfield is that Caicedo will be placed under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino, considering the significant duration of Chelsea's efforts to secure the deal.
Liverpool believes that the 21-year-old Romeo Lavia, whom they have been pursuing from Southampton for a long time, is an exceptional player worth trying to sign, regardless of the outcome. In case there is no progress with Chelsea and Caicedo expresses his desire to join Jurgen Klopp's team, Liverpool is prepared to take further steps. Additionally, Bayern Munich is also considering entering into a potential agreement.
It is understood that the Ecuador international cleared out his locker at Brighton five days ago and has not been back at the club since.
Bunkered in London, he awaits an agreed transfer, which speaks volumes about Caicedo's approval of the move to Chelsea. Consequently, Chelsea is anticipated to escalate their pursuit of him. The player's preference holds the key to both clubs' actions, and Liverpool stands ready to make a move if encouraged.
