According to Fabrizio Romano, Brighton have rejected a second bid for Moises Caicedo from Arsenal. The bid worth £70million was immediately turned down by Brighton.
Caicedo did not play today in his team’s 2-1 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup, and has made it clear he intends to leave the club for the Gunner’s this window.
Arsenal made the bid tonight but it was turned down as soon as it was sent. Brighton are clear on their stance, the player is not for sale. Negotiations will not be had for under £90million.
It will be hard for Caicedo to be accepted back into the fans after his social media post asking to leave the club, but Brighton will not back down and determined to either keep the player or get the money they want for him.
Chelsea are currently focused on Enzo Fernandez and are not expected to join the race for Moises Caicedo this late in the window.
Arsenal now have 48 hours to decide whether they want to send another bid to Brighton for Caicedo.
