Moises Caicedo's agent has dropped two hints over Liverpool transfer as Reds 'plot move for £100m star'

Moises Caicedo’s agent has already dropped two hints that the Brighton star could move to Liverpool.

According to TalkSPORT, Liverpool will consider joining the race to sign Caicedo should Jordan Henderson and Fabinho both move to Saudi Arabia.

It’s been widely reported that Henderson has accepted a huge contract offer from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq while Fabinho is said to be a top target for Nuno Espírito Santo at Al-Ittihad.

Given two Liverpool midfielders could leave for Saudi Arabia, the club have allegedly reignited their interest in Caicedo, who the Seagulls value at £100million.

The Ecuador international has been linked with Chelsea for months and has even hinted he could move to west London this window.

“[Chelsea is] a big team, that’s true,” Caicedo told Ecuadorian TV channel ‘The Court with Majo’ via the Evening Standard.

“It’s a very historic team and I can’t say no because it’s a very big, historic, beautiful team. The city as well is beautiful.”

However, there is also a suggestion he could head elsewhere.

Caicedo’s agent drops two hints

Caicedo’s agent had dropped two hints that suggest the midfielder could be setting his sites beyond Chelsea.

Firstly, last month Caicedo’s agent Manuel Sierra told Sussex World when asked for an update on his client's future that they were open to listening to offers from various clubs.

Sierra said: “Let’s see (what happens). We are open to listening (to offers).”

Then, in another interview, Sierra insisted that Caicedo could slot “into any team”, though added the 21-year-old’s idol was former Chelsea midfield N’Golo Kante.

Sierra told Arsenal Informer: "This is not a surprise because there aren't many other midfielders so young and talented around Europe. I believe he can really improve in every aspect of the game.

"He can slot into any [team] as he's ready for it all. His dream is to play in the Champions League and to reach as far as he can in football. His idol? N'Golo Kante."
