"My dream is to become a Chelsea legend" – Caicedo signs huge new deal until 2033 | OneFootball

Chelsea has officially announced that Moises Caicedo has signed a new long-term contract extension, ending months of speculation and cementing his place as the cornerstone of the club’s midfield until June 2033.

The 24-year-old Ecuador international, who has become an indispensable figure under manager Liam Rosenior, penned the improved seven-year deal at Stamford Bridge on Friday.

The agreement is a significant show of faith from both the player and the club’s ownership, rewarding Caicedo for a stellar run of form that recently saw him help the Blues secure the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup.

Moises Caicedo: “My dream is to become a Chelsea legend”

Speaking to the club’s official website after putting pen to paper, Caicedo expressed his deep commitment to the project in West London.

Despite the team currently sitting 6th in the Premier League and navigating a period of transition, the midfielder insisted he has no desire to be anywhere else.

He said:

“I am so happy to have extended my contract at Chelsea. I believe in this team, this club and I know we’re going in the right direction. We’ve only just begun together.

“There is still a lot more to achieve, and I’m very hungry to keep improving every day. I want to win more trophies with Chelsea and give everything for this club and for the fans.

“We have enjoyed some great times together already and my dream is to become a Chelsea legend, and I will work as hard as possible to make that happen.”

Caicedo has been an excellent signing for Chelsea

Since his record-breaking move from Brighton in 2023, Caicedo has evolved into one of the most complete defensive midfielders in world football.

The contract extension also serves as a massive boost for Chelsea, as it should fend off interest from Real Madrid.

The Spanish giants had reportedly placed Caicedo at the top of their summer wishlist along with Alexis Mac Allister.

By securing his future for the next seven years, Chelsea have ensured their midfield engine room remains powered by one of the game’s elite talents for the prime of his career.
