Think back to this time last year, which is likely the most significant period in Moises Caicedo’s life so far.
Following Fabinho’s sudden departure to Al-Ittihad, Liverpool hurried to find a defensive midfielder and agreed to a £111 million fee with Brighton for the Ecuadorian star just two days before their season opener against Chelsea.
Ironically, Chelsea outbid Liverpool by offering £115 million the next day, finalizing the deal after Liverpool’s 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge.
Although Caicedo struggled in his first year at Chelsea, he ended the season on a high note with a remarkable 50-yard goal against Bournemouth on the final day.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the 22-year-old has no regrets about choosing Chelsea over Liverpool, despite admitting it was a tough decision.
He said, “I still remember one year ago… difficult decision. Liverpool is a big team, but Chelsea were with me for a couple of months and I felt like I couldn’t miss this move.
They supported me in tough times; it was a difficult decision… but 100% the right one.”
