“I don’t want any player who doesn’t want to be here.” Season after season, Pep Guardiola repeats that phrase every time the transfer market opens and he is asked if it is true that Gundogan has an agreement with Barcelona, ​​if Bernardo Silva wants to join PSG or if Cancelo would prefer Bayern or Juventus. This is part of the formula for the success of the best coach in the history of this sport: the maximum involvement of his managers, if not, there is the door. His name is Haaland, De Bruyne or Rodri. And they cost what they cost.

English media: ‘Liverpool coach desperately needs reinforcements and has eyed Moisés Caicedo’

A sensual Chelsea fan made a powerful comment against Brighton for Moisés Caicedo

Brilliant: a player unhappy at the club, air. To a player who shows no respect for the jersey and his fans, goodbye. Whoever does not agree with the project should submit a written offer to the club and make a bag. Don’t shout “sell me” all the time.

Diario AS: Moisés Caicedo would become Brighton’s ‘big sale’

Football had an exceptional player for whom we have magnificent memories, but who, due to his nomadic character (to put it elegantly), did not remain in the hearts of any fans. He lived thinking more about the transfer than about staying in one place, winning titles and becoming an idol. We are talking about the Ronaldo phenomenon. He could have achieved an even better image by staying at the club for several years, but he succumbed to the gluttony of his representatives. Inter signed him for a fortune, suffered him injured for three years, pampered him and when he recovered he said “I want to be happy somewhere else.” Obviously, that phrase would never have occurred to Gord, it was an opportunistic idea of ​​his business people. And he went to Real Madrid. Unforgivable attitude, Figo/Neymaresca. He moved from Milan overnight. He already had an inelegant departure from Barcelona due to money.

With the sale of Moisés Caicedo, Independiente del Valle plans to build a High Performance Center in Santo Domingo named after the midfielder

Moisés Caicedo is still 21 years old, and he barely spent a season and a half in Brighton, the club that welcomed him to England, the mecca of football. It’s just breaking the shell. His desperation to get away from Brighton is not only surprising, but is starting to breed an antipathy towards the player, something his managers should take note of and advise him accordingly. But the agent pockets the money when his client completes the transfer, hence the almost unhealthy insistence that he wants to pass it on to Chelsea, who have never publicly expressed a desire to sign him. Every time the London club had an interest in a football player, they expressed it. Then he put the money in and took it away. In separate negotiations, Chelsea paid Brighton $72 million for the not-so-discreet Catalan full-back Marco Cucurella (what you’d call a ruinous pass), then shelled out $32 million to the Seagulls to take out manager Graham Potter, and now they’ve just signed Spanish goalkeeper Robert Sánchez, also from Brighton, for 25.33 million. That is, when he wanted an article from Brighton, he went, paid and kept it. Chelsea is owned by a group of American ultra-millionaires, there is no problem with cash. His only headache is the mismanagement of the technical secretariat, which gathered an army of footballers who created chaos in the dressing room. To fix it, they’ve already laid off 28 professionals (almost three full teams) and hope to get rid of half a dozen more, since they have 32 left on the payroll, an unsustainable amount for any technician.

When Brighton had offers for one of their players, they did not oppose his transfer, it is purely a selling club, it is mostly done by its owners. In the case of Alexis Mac Allister, for example, a good player who left an unsurpassed personal and sporting impression in three and a half seasons, Brighton loaned him to Liverpool for 46.3 million. An adequate figure for the 24-year-old world champion, who also scored 12 goals and provided 3 assists in 2022-2023. Good numbers for a midfielder.

What is noticeable in the Caicedo-Brighton-Chelsea case is a monumental and shameless job of media engineering by the footballer’s agents to try to force a transfer. And not at any cost. To a fortune in excess of $127 million, which would border on a record in this window. Which would enter the field of nonsense. Caicedo, obedient to his managers, helps in his every move. He already had a setback last January when he said goodbye to Brighton fans as he was leaving for Arsenal. And Arsenal completely denied that they were interested in him.

“He has the right to think about his future,” one hears. Of course, he already thought, that’s why he extended until 2027. If he had no interest in staying at Brighton, why did he sign…?

Moisés Caicedo is a very interesting midfielder who is recovering because he has more than correct handling of the ball. And to the extent that he develops in his game. But he doesn’t score goals, he doesn’t prepare them, he doesn’t have headers and shots, neither one-on-one nor is he dedicated to creation, which are the things that are most sought after when buying clubs. In other words, athletes who make a difference. His game does not shine with verticality, it is more oriented towards removal and passing to the side. He does not show the ruthless type of Kevin De Bruyne, who goes from box to box in almost every game. In addition to being a world star and a super figure of Manchester City in the won treble, the Belgian scored 10 goals and provided 31 assists, crazy, because he reveals himself in the brand and in the team. And his market value is 70 million, interestingly five less than Caicedo. Nor was Moses warned of definitive guidance. Declan Rice moved from West Ham to Arsenal for $128.4 million. It seems that there are too many of them, because it does not offer great technical characteristics, but it provides a steel mentality. The gunboat team will already be loaded. Leaders are also in high demand.

Harry Kane, the best scorer in the history of Tottenham and the English national team, a center forward of unsurpassed intelligence, who combines goals with assists, is about to sign for Bayern Munich for 107 million dollars. And it hurts Tottenham to let him go, he is an idol of the club, he spent his whole career there. He has the most precious commodity: a goal. Goal, assist, dribbling forward, creativity and leadership are the five most sought-after aspects when buying. Caicedo does not enter any. Today, at least.

In March of last year, Caicedo renewed his contract with Brighton until 2027, and the next day he started flirting with Chelsea. Because of this, the Italian De Zerbi sent him a strong message through the media: “Moisés is a great player, a really great player, but he must know that he plays for Brighton and give his best to Brighton and not to anyone else.” He can’t even use the classic lie “I want to play in the Champions League”.Chelsea will not be in the Champions League or in any European competition.Brighton yes.

Moisés should have a goal for this season that starts today: score two goals. Not thirty, at least two. And about five passes for a goal. Verticalize his actions with the ball more, try to improve his shot and header, his dynamics, also his English. win the title And when he has delighted the fans and spent a reasonable amount of time at a club that believed in him and gave him places, then yes, consider jumping to another institution.
