Amid interest from Arsenal in the midfielder, Moises Caicedo has begged Brighton to accept a club-record transfer fee.
According to reports, the Premier League leaders had their £60 million ($74 million) offer for the Ecuadorian international rejected.
In a tweet sent on Friday, Caicedo stated that he was “glad to be able to bring in a record transfer fee for Brighton, which would allow them to reinvest it and assist the club in continuing to be successful.”
“The fans have embraced me and will always hold a special place in my heart.” I hope they can understand why I want to seize this wonderful chance.
Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi will keep the 21-year-old at least until the end of the current season.
He’s a decent man. He is only thinking about Brighton. De Zerbi told reporters on Friday, “I hope he can stay with us until the end of the season because, in my opinion, it’s the best solution for him and for us.”
“On Wednesday, I chatted with him and expressed my viewpoint. I believe that transitioning through a season is never easy. It’s critical that he stays with us for the next four months.
During the current January transfer window, Brighton has already sold Belgian forward Leandro Trossard to Arsenal for £27 million.
Caicedo has a contract with Brighton through 2025, and he has also been linked to a reunion with his old coach Graham Potter at Chelsea.
“He’s at ease.” He’s a decent man. De Zerbi continued, “I talked to him like a parent, not as a coach.”
“I comprehend when a player has the option to switch teams and join a really large team.”
“I perceive. My job is to impart playing techniques while also offering professional and life advice.
On Sunday, Brighton hosts Liverpool in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
