The guy earns very little, probably one of the smallest contracts in the entire league. A team could quadruple his wages and he’d still not touch £20k a week.
He's on about 15k a week according to capology, salarysport, and sportac. Still incredibly small for a player Brighton will be asking for so much money for, but I guess that's half the point. What you can get away with paying him will cost you in the fee.
Yep, that's my maths fecked! I was dividing 180 by 12 !From Spotrac.
This is who I'd want but as Casemiro's replacement in the future. Problem is by the time Casemiro retires, Caicedo will already be a household name, playing for a big team. Buying him now and playing together would be overkill defensively in most games and may blunt our attack.
Thought he was fantastic again today! Brighton could well have one of the best midfields in the league with him and Mac Allister
I thought his contract myth was busted on here when someone took into account appearance fees etc.?
This kid is class, would be a good understudy for Casemiro and good alongside him too.
Buy him, loan him out for a season, even two, and when Casemiro's time to retire comes, we'd be sorted for the next decade DM-wise.
We play enough games for both to rotate the same position. Pep rotates everyone why can’t we do similar. Casemiro should not have to play the amount of games we need him to.
I'll take him million times over Scott
He'll be world class for many years to come, a joy to watch.
We should really try to sneak in and sign this guy before Liverpool do. We need quality cover in midfield and we're not going to do much better at his price. Also as others have pointed out, we could triple his wages and he'd still be one of the lowest earners at the club.
This kid is next apparently.
I was about to say, he'd be an ideal Kante replacement so that would actually be a logic Chelsea transfer for once given his age and how you desperately need to regenerate your CM area.
Midfield has been my priority for a while now. It needs to be addressed for sure. I’d hoped we’d go back in for Enzo but it’s looking like Caicedo might be the guy now. He would certainly be a wise investment for years to come.
I think Yunas Musah would be a great Casemiro understudy and for significantly less than any PL option. Wouldn’t be surprised if we could get him for less than we can con someone into paying for McTominay.
This would be a great idea if we had inifinite resources and didn't have so many higher priority needs. The player next to Casemiro is a higher priority need than Casemiro's back up. So is CF, GK and RB, though AWB is on a redemption arc.
If I could sign two midfielders for us next summer it would be him and FDJ. It would obviously cost a bomb to get both and we need to add to other areas but they'd also take us to another level.
He will more than likely sign for Chelsea in the next few weeks though...

He'd be a wise choice.
As with the Cucurella deal, Brighton will rinse you for this guy. Unfortunately I think he's a far better fit than Cucurella was (and I rate Cucu highly) and will be an excellent signing for Chelsea.
Probably looking at least £70m.
Think he'd be a great option for us next to Casemiro, imagine being able to learn from the best DM in the world?
Who isn't
We said that about Cleverley and Scholes..
Yeah but Cleverly was dyslexic so he couldn't learn properly
You’re right, but the midfield does need to be addressed and they’ve shown they don’t want to pay Enzo’s release clause. Caicedo always felt like the cheaper alternative.
Touché
That Ben Jacobs guy was adamant Chelsea were going to overpay the clause for Enzo?
He won't be cheap.
would be the first smart signing the new owner has made
I actually hope we do that and my gut feeling was always that we’d go back in for him but rumours are surfacing about Caicedo so who knows.
Definitely not cheap.
Brighton will absolutely have a field day with the new owners and their wide open string purse.
Any good midfielder would be a smart signing to be fair.
Caicedo looks amazing pretty much every time I watch him play. Still very young. Would be a great acquisition IMO.
Chelsea will buy him.
He's really very good.
