In January 2021, the English press reported that Manchester United was interested in the Ecuadorian midfielder Moisés Caicedo and that the negotiations for the footballer were left aside due to intermediaries. Now they point out that the Red Devils “will regret” not having the tricolor.
On February 1 of last year, Brighton & Hove Albion announced the hiring of the 20-year-old footballer after completing a “complicated transfer”, as reported by newspaper ACE.
“It has been a difficult transfer, due to the current restrictions, and there has been a lot of work in various departments at the club to complete the transfer,” said Dan Ashworth, who was Brighton’s manager at the time.
The newspaper also mentioned that the footballer’s transfer operation was close to 5 million euros.
‘Brighton’s £4.5m (£4.5m) transfer decision Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag (Red Devils manager) may regret’, www.sussexlive.co.uk headlines in a note.
“Manchester United was in the pole position to sign Moisés Caicedo, from Independiente del Valle, almost 18 months ago, but they decided not to and now Brighton is reaping the rewards,” the site adds.
In addition, the good campaign that the tricolor meets with the English team is mentioned and it is pointed out that it is possible that it could be transferred.
“And it cost them just £4.5m. It looks like Caicedo is ready to join a conveyor belt of Brighton success stories in the transfer market, that is, where they buy a young and talented player for a small fee and it ultimately works out. That includes Alexis Mac Allister, Jakub Moder, Tariq Lamptey, Jeremy Sarmiento (another Ecuadorian) and more”, expresses the portal.
Caicedo was also a key player in qualifying for the 2022 Qatar World Cup for the Ecuadorian soccer team. (D)
