Liverpool 'will Go For' Moises Caicedo this January Claims Journalist


 Journalist Ben Jacobs has said that Liverpool may be interested in Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo this month, speaking to GiveMeSport.

The Ecuadorian's name has echoed around the rumour cauldron at Anfield since the summer after his fantastic start in a Seagulls shirt - and with the Reds midfield in dire need of reparation, his presence may be a panacea to some Liverpool woes.

Since joining Brighton in 2021 from Independiente del Valle, Caicedo initially was shipped to Belgian outfit Beerschot to accelerate his senior experience.

After swiftly outgrowing the league and Brighton encountering a midfield crisis, he was recalled but played a bit-part role under Graham Potter last season.

Yves Bissouma's departure to Tottenham Hotspur left an opening for Caicedo, who has somewhat exceeded the Malian's performances for the Seagulls. 

New boss Roberto de Zerbi has tweaked well, helping his side up to seventh - level on points with Liverpool (who they play next) - with Caicedo playing a starring role.

In an interview with GMS, journalist Jacobs admitted Liverpool were targeting the midfielder, but rubbished any claims a bid had already been made.

“The other one to watch is Moises Caicedo and this is the one Liverpool think they might go for in January,” Jacobs told GMS.

“But contrary to reports, Liverpool have not yet bid for Moises Caicedo. There’s even reports out there that Liverpool have bid twice for Moises Caicedo.

“Liverpool have not bid for Moises Caicedo.”

Despite the lack of bids for the midfielder, Reds' fans will surely be encouraged by their interest in the 21-year-old.

Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner are all out of contract in less than six months time, with the position lacking in quality and depth. Caicedo not only adds protection for now, but for the decade ahead.

Liverpool set to make official move for 24-year-old midfielder valued at£39.8m

  Liverpool have reportedly reignited their interest in Matheus Nunes and are weighing up a £44m swoop for the Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder. The Portugal international was heavily linked with a move to Anfield during the summer transfer window, but Jurgen Klopp’s side decided against spending big on a new lynchpin. Still determined to test himself in the Premier League, Nunes became the latest Portuguese player to arrive at Wolves, who paid €45m (£39.8m) to bring the 24-year-old to the club from Sporting Lisbon. Nunes has one assist to show from 14 Premier League games for Julen Lopetegui’s side, and he is under contract at Molineux until 2027 with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. However, Nunes’s efforts have not been able to prevent Wolves’ slide down the table, with Lopetegui’s men sat 19th in the rankings after taking just 13 points from 17 games. Should Wolves drop back down to the Championship, Nunes would not be e...

(Video) Thiago’s three brilliant defensive challenges that demonstrate his Anfield dominance

  Thiago Alcantara had yet another brilliant display for Liverpool and it wasn’t just his usual passing and attacking prowess that was on show but his tackling and defensive abilities too. One video has been created to show three instances when our No.6 won the ball back inside his own half and they were all done with the usual style and class we are used to seeing from the Spain international. It wasn’t the best display from Jurgen Klopp’s squad but the 31-year-old could leave the pitch with his head held high, after helping the Reds secure all three points. Let’s hope his form continues and that we can extend our run of four successive victories in the Premier League. He is immense pic.twitter.com/KdobOK8Feh — - (@PassLikeThiago) December 31, 2022

Bayern Munich eyeing up another Liverpool star – Likely far cheaper than Mané deal

Image
 With a few clubs, including Manchester United, reportedly interested in Eric Choupo-Moting, currently at Bayern Munich, the Bavarian side are preparing for the worst. Having already lost Robert Lewandowski in the summer, the Bundesliga giants have had to rely on the Cameroon international more often than not, but his contract expires in the summer. This has made him attractive for many clubs in January, which is why Bayern Munich are looking at Liverpool for a potential replacement. This is because the Reds have a player in a similar situation as Choupo-Moting in Roberto Firmino, whose contract at Anfield expires in the summer. There have been reports the Brazilian wouldn’t mind extending at Liverpool, but he will take his time to evaluate what his future can bring him. Media Foot in France suggest that could include a transfer back to Germany, where he initially made a name for himself at Hoffenheim. The outlet explain the Liverpool forward ‘is among the profiles studied’ by...
