football.london understands that Chelsea are confident of agreeing a deal with Brighton to sign the 21-year-old this summer as efforts step up over a move. It comes after the Blues missed out on priority target Manuel Ugarte, who is set to join PSG from Sporting CP instead.
The valuation is set between £70million and £80million for a move, with the youngster signing a new deal earlier this year. Adding to this, Romano claims that Caicedo hasn’t agreed personal terms with any club, which conflicts with reports elsewhere that the Gunners had secured that deal.
There’s still some way to go in the race to sign the midfielder though, so it remains to be seen how the saga plays out.
Manchester United prepare opening Mason Mount bid as Chelsea set clear transfer stance
Manchester United are preparing an opening offer for Chelsea star Mason Mount as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his squad. The Blues are set to move on a number of players this summer as Todd Boehly looks to trim down Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.

Chelsea’s £75million valuation of the player is proving to be a major sticking point in negotiations with United unwilling to submit an offer higher than £55million – for now.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Ten Hag’s side are preparing an opening bid for Mount and are remaining calm over negotiations with Chelsea regarding a deal to sign Mount with the player keen on a move to Old Trafford.
