The Moises Caicedo transfer story is taking twists by the hour, with Jurgen Klopp now speaking openly about it in his press conference today.
The Liverpool boss said that he can “confirm that the deal with the club is agreed,” a rare instance of a manager speaking about a transfer before it happens.
Hilariously he was then asked to refer back to his old comments from just a few years ago where he said his club would never spend as much as £100m on a single player. They’re about to spend £111m.

Good day I deeply feel we lost to caciedo because if lack of direction for about a month we kept going for him!! I’m totally disappointed how my club has allowed Liverpool ti get caciedo that’s so unfortunate!! I think if they already got him we should stick to the player’s we got and move in for kudus and take that away from Brighton!! Because we need an attacking midfielders Now since Nkunku is not available!! Secondly we shouldn’t go for lavia let the 48 stay that way he is not a world class player like caciedo!!!we have ourselves ti blame for this deal falling to materialize and for Brighton after this caciedo saga CFC should stop every deal with them as a club from this day forward we have ti know that Brighton is below CFC they have nothing to offer when it comes to transaction with direct intent!! I rest my case I’m bitterly sad by this caciedo saga this morning here in Nigeria!! It’s a Shame we lost our kante
