Liverpool are in the market for at least one more midfielder and as Chelsea fail with a £75M bid to sign Moises Caicedo, Jurgen Klopp has been urged to enter the fray.
Supporters are eagerly awaiting news of the Reds’ next move 
in the transfer market and many are wishing that Brighton’s Caicedo is secretly one of the club’s primary transfer targets.
Whether it be his price tag or another reason, the Ecuadorian doesn’t appear to be high up on Liverpool’s transfer wish list although it’s certain he is a player that the Merseyside outfit would love to have.
Chelsea have had a £70M bid rejected, according to the Athletic, and given that Liverpool have only breached that price point for Virgil van Dijk and Darwin Nunez, it’s unlikely that such a huge bid will be paid for Caicedo.
FSG are well-known for encouraging the club’s recruitment team to shop around for bargain buys like the £35M spent to take Caicedo’s teammate, Alexis Mac Allister, to Anfield.
Liverpool urged to spend big on Moises Caicedo
Former Liverpool star, Stan Collymore, believes Klopp should be breaking the bank to sign Caicedo.
Speaking to Caught Offside, he said: “To replace Fabinho, I think Liverpool should break the bank for Brighton’s Moises Caicedo and although it might be a little too soon for him, Aston Villa’s Boubacar Kamara would be an excellent acquisition for Klopp having been exceptional at times last season – although I think Aston Villa won’t be motivated to sell him this summer.
“If they are looking for a defensive midfielder that will be there for the next four/five years, Caicedo would be my pick. Partnering him with Mac Allister, his former Brighton team-mate, would be very good as it was a pairing that produced tremendous results over the past season.
“Either way, Liverpool need to bring in one more player for their midfield.”
While I certainly believe the 20-year-old would be a fantastic addition to the Liverpool starting XI, he’s not a defensive midfielder.
In many ways, he’s far more similar to Georginio Wijnaldum than he is to Fabinho, for instance. He is most effective when used to creatively play his side out of danger.
