Manchester United have reportedly touched base with Brighton & Hove Albion to discuss the future of Ecuadorian midfielder Moises Caicedo.
The Red Devils were believed to be on the verge of signing the 21-year-old from Independiente del Valle in 2021, but his proposed switch to Old Trafford ultimately fell through.
After Man United had passed up the chance to sign Caicedo, Brighton brought the Ecuador international to the Amex for a mere £4.3m, before loaning him to Belgian side Beerschot for the first half of the 2021-22 season.
Since breaking through into the Seagulls’ first team, Caicedo has become one of the Premier League’s most sought-after midfielders, scoring two goals and registering three assists in 53 games for Roberto De Zerbi’s team.
Also impressing with his defensive contributions and versatility – featuring as a right-back during the final weeks of the campaign – Caicedo played a key role in Brighton’s successful push for Europa League football as they finished sixth in the Premier League table.
However, De Zerbi has admitted that Caicedo has likely played his final game for Brighton, in spite of the fact that his deal still has four years left to run.
According to Sky Sports News, Man United have asked to be kept abreast of any developments over Caicedo’s future, but the Red Devils will face stiff competition to sign the South American starlet.
Back in January, Arsenal failed with two bids for the midfielder, who dropped a bombshell announcement on social media claiming that he wanted to leave Brighton for the Emirates Stadium.
Caicedo was briefly dropped from the squad before being re-integrated and penning fresh terms, but Arsenal are expected to reignite their interest this summer and have apparently already agreed personal terms with the midfielder.
