Liverpool have agreed a British record transfer fee of \u00a3111m with Brighton for midfielder Moises Caicedo.<\/p>\n
After Brighton rejected a succession of bids from Chelsea, it remains to be seen whether the Blues will now match that amount.<\/p>\n
Brighton had set a fee in excess of \u00a3100m for Caicedo and had said they felt no-one would reach it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, Liverpool have now done that, which leaves the 21-year-old Ecuador international free to go for a medical.<\/p>\n
Liverpool lost midfielders Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to the Saudi Pro League last month but signed Caicedo\u2019s Brighton team-mate Alexis Mac Allister in June for \u00a335m.<\/p>\n
The fee agreed for Caicedo exceeds the \u00a3107m Chelsea paid for Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez earlier this year.<\/p>\n
Caicedo joined Brighton from Ecuadorian side Independiente del Valle for \u00a34m in February 2021.<\/p>\n
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been looking at various options to rebuild his squad after they finished fifth in the Premier League last season and failed to qualify for the Champions League.<\/p>\n
However, the price they are prepared to pay for Caicedo comes as a surprise, as in In April, the club said they would not make a move for England midfielder Jude Bellingham because of the money involved.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old later joined Real Madrid in a deal that could reach 133.9m euros (\u00a3115m).<\/p>\n
Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, 19, has also been on Klopp\u2019s list of potential transfers, but the Reds have seen three bids rejected by the Saints, who reportedly value the Belgian at \u00a350m.<\/p>\n
