Liverpool can finally sign record-breaking midfielder after three years | OneFootball

Liverpool can finally sign a record-breaking midfielder after three years of wanting him.

Because of the club's midfield situation, the Reds are going to be looking out for potential midfield arrivals in the transfer market this summer.

Curtis Jones could be on the move as he enters his final year under contract. There is also uncertainty surrounding the futures of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch.

All have a contract until the end of the 2027/28 season but all have also been negotiating for a renewal for over six months no to no avail.

There has been no progress made yet, anyway. The former two have also been linked with moves elsewhere. Mac Allister is on the radar of Manchester United and Real Madrid. Szoboszlai is also courted by the Spanish giants.

This means Liverpool have to think about their midfield in a very strategic manner.

But all of that might completely change with a player becoming available, who the Reds always wanted to sign three years ago.

When Szoboszlai and Mac Allister came in, Liverpool had a completely different plan as to who they wanted for the holding midfield role.

It wasn't supposed to be Ryan Gravenberch.

It was supposed to be Moises Caicedo. Liverpool made a club record bid for him and it looked like he could be heading to Anfield.

But ultimately, the Reds didn't get the deal over the line. Caicedo became a record-breaking transfer in the Premier League, joining Chelsea.

This was a record Liverpool broke by bringing in Alexander Isak.

But now there is a chance for Liverpool to sign Caicedo again.

Chelsea are a mess at the moment. They have been given a transfer ban at academy level. On the pitch they have been thrashed by Paris Saint Germain and it looks like the club's model is completely falling apart.

Caicedo is now entering his prime years and that long-term vision at Stamford Bridge is dismantling in front of his eyes.

There's a chance Chelsea could miss out on Champions League football next season.

There's also a chance that apart from those financial losses that come with missing out on Europe's elite competition, Chelsea could face even bigger financial problems.

According to reporter Rob Harris, the government are set to sue Chelsea for £2.5 billion.

If that happens, it could put Chelsea in a really vulnerable position.

But regardless, the door is now ajar. Given Chelsea's recent form and need for sales, Liverpool could finally sign Caicedo.

There is a chance and if he's available, there is no question he should be the club's no.1 priority.
