Brighton want to take advantage of Liverpool's needs

Liverpool's obsession and desperation to sign a new midfielder for next year continues, and although no new rumours have emerged in recent days that would put other midfield players in red for January, there is one on the list of possible reinforcements who could complicate things to the point of not playing at Anfield but at another rival in the same league.

Jurgen Klopp and the team's directors cannot afford the luxury in another transfer window of not bringing pure quality to the squad, as happened with Aurélien Tchouameni and Jude Bellingham this summer. That is why Brighton-based target Moises Caicedo is a priority for a Liverpool side in desperate need of a midfielder capable of carrying out the German manager's strategies that have been so successful during his time at Anfield.

With Liverpool interested in the 20-year-old Ecuadorian, the Gulls are said to be asking for a large sum of money for his departure in January, with The Mirror also reporting that Brighton are ready to offer the midfielder a new contract. Caicedo is currently tied to the club until 2025, with Brighton keen to reward the player while protecting his transfer value.

The complications that Liverpool could present when they are ready to sign Caicedo will be directly related to the economic issue, because before Graham Potter left Brighton for Chelsea, this coach assured that the Ecuadorian was a piece of quality that could easily be worth 100 million pounds, remaining only wait until the end of the year to know what is the price that will put the Seagulls for their Ecuadorian figure that is not only the object of desire at Anfield but also of other institutions in England.

Klopp must be cautious

On this occasion Klopp will have to be cautious and make a wise decision regarding the midfielder who arrives at the Anfield institution in January, because although the economic issue is not a constraint for Liverpool, they do not want to make the same mistake they had with Darwin Núnez and his high value that Benfica put on him when they knew that the Reds were interested in the Uruguayan striker, who has not performed as the German coach thought at first.
