Moises Caicedo has already hinted at what team he would choose to sign for between Liverpool and Chelsea.
According to Sky Sports, three clubs are interested in signing the Brighton midfielder, with Liverpool having made contact.
Chelsea, Liverpool and Bayern Munich are all exploring a deal, with a resolution reportedly on the horizon.
Indeed, Brighton, who want enough time to bring in a replacement, are at present, not budging on their £100million valuation. However, Caicedo has made it clear he wants to leave the Seagulls.

On Thursday, the Telegraph claimed Liverpool have submitted a bid in excess of £80million to lure Caicedo to Anfield over Stamford Bridge.
While other publications have claimed Brighton have received no such bid, Liverpool are exploring a deal to sign the midfielder.
However, Caicedo has already hinted at who he would prefer to sign for between Liverpool and Chelsea.
Caicedo on Chelsea move
Caicedo claimed he would find it difficult to reject an offer from Chelsea.
Speaking in July the 21-year-old told TC Deportes via Evening Standard: "It's a big team, that's true.
“A very historic team which I can't say no [to joining] because it's a very big, historic, beautiful team.
"The city as well is beautiful. It's got everything beautiful."
Caicedo added, when asked about Chelsea’s interest: "What guy wouldn't want them to be talking about him?
"I know how to handle it. I don't get carried away by emotions. I'm enjoying time with my family for now. There is pressure, but I am calm. I am waiting for whatever God decides. He will know what is best for me."
Elsewhere, Chelsea have made a £48million bid for Romeo Lavia and talks with Southampton could allegedly accelerate in the next 24 hours.
While the offer is shy of Southampton’s £50million valuation, it comes close enough that talks between the two clubs could continue. Liverpool have had three bids worth up to £45million rejected for Caicedo throughout the summer.
