Paul Barber, Brighton's sporting director, explained why Moises Caicedo turned down a move to Liverpool.
- "Liverpool is a fantastic club that everyone would love to play at, but for whatever reason, Moises and his representatives decided that a move to London would be the best option to continue his career. We found ourselves in a difficult position because we spent many days working on an agreement with Liverpool, who handled the matter very professionally. We agreed on all the terms, but the player himself intervened and refused to join Liverpool. We had to switch quickly," said Paul Barber.
Earlier it was reported that Chelsea signed Moises Caicedo for a record 133.6 million euros.
