Journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed that Liverpool have not placed a bid for midfielder Moises Caicedo despite recent reports to the contrary.

What’s the word?

With the January transfer window now open, a number of Premier League teams are expected to use the next month to strengthen their squads for the remained of the season.

In fact, the Reds have already dipped into the market to sign Dutch winger Cody Gakpo from PSV. And, according to Ecuadorian outlet Teradeportes (via football.london), Liverpool have also had a £62m bid for Brighton midfielder Caicedo rejected too.

However, it seems as though that report might not be entirely accurate, depending on who you believe. Indeed, while talking on the Born And Red podcast, Jacobs said that no bid has been tabled as of yet.

He said: “My understanding very early and from the word go has always been that Liverpool have not bid for Caicedo and I am confident in that position still having made a series of enquiries.

“And the reason why they haven’t made a bid is because Brighton are under no obligation to sell, especially not mid-season.”

Do you want Moises Caicedo at Liverpool?

Yes

No

New midfielder incoming?

It certainly wouldn’t be a shock if the Reds were hoping to sign a new midfielder in the near future. After all, Jude Bellingham has long been touted as a possible target. On top of that, they have been said to ‘appreciate’ Argentina and Benfica star Enzo Fernandez.

And so, it remains plausible that they would be keeping tabs on Caicedo but it sounds as if they aren’t quite prepared to make a concrete offer for the player just yet.

The Brighton ace caught the eye at the World Cup with Qatar this winter and even earned the praise from Spain and Barcelona midfielder Pedri.

Indeed, the Spaniard said: “The one I’ve seen who has most surprised me was the one from Ecuador, Moises Caicedo.
