I don’t think this Liverpool stuff is fake. Otherwise they’d have just payed up the extra £5m and gotten Lavia who they’ve been after for months.

How convenient for Brighton that right before the deal gets agreed, a bidding war starts lol

We’ve allowed it to happen by haggling for so many weeks. Caicedo could’ve and should’ve been a Chelsea player weeks ago when nobody else was even thinking about him and Liverpool were busy bidding for Lavia.

Now, perhaps due to extreme internal pressure from Klopp, Liverpool’s owners are willing to splurge on this one huge signing to take them back into title contention. Perhaps them receiving unexpected big money for Henderson and Fabinho made it possible at the last minute for them when it wouldn’t have been possible before.

It doesn’t seem implausible to me. They’ve shown with Alisson, Van Dijk, and Darwin that when Klopp really feels like there’s a top player that will be transformative for them his owners will go big.

PLUS, they’re probably selling Caicedo on the idea of reuniting with Mac Allister and making a genuine title charge. That’s gotta be appealing to him you would think.

And Bayern out of a sudden as well, who were never linked to him? Seems odd and not Bayern like at all:

For a team that spends more money than anyone else we absolutely cannot allow to be outbid for 2 main MF targets. It happened with Ugarte already.

In combination with the Nkunku injury it would put such a downer on the new season to miss out on our main target we’ve been chasing all summer. And then imagine if we lose to Liverpool AT HOME in that first match after they’ve taken Caicedo from under our noses. Yikes….

For what it's worth according to sussexworld.Brighton's deal for Kudus looks to be off as player and club haven"t agreed a deal.

Seems like Brighton tries to drag out this Caicedo story bc they cant get anyone in. We often heard that Caicedo is connected to Kudus.

If Caicedo goes they’ll find some random guy from a tiny club and turn him into the next Caicedo. I don’t think they’re worried about how they could replace him.

The Rice deal is what really fucked us. Us paying big for Enzo could’ve just been a one-off that never happened again. But then when Arse agreed to pay £105m for a player that Brighton could directly compare their player to that was that. They were only going to allow Caicedo to go for a similar amount.

Person who found Caicedo is working for Chelsea now tho.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's all over Kudus wanting a release clause, how can Brighton not expect incoming players to look at what they’ve done and think twice? Hardly being shrewd, short sightedness more like.

Well. Looks like the torture won’t last much longer. We could find out tonight how serious we are about getting him or more importantly how strong his desire is to join US rather than Liverpool.
