Could Caicedo Become Cristiano’s Teammate? Chelsea Responds
Speculation has been swirling around a potential move that could see Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo link up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr. However, Chelsea have made their stance very clear — the Ecuadorian is not for sale.
Caicedo, who joined Chelsea from Brighton in 2023 for a British record fee of £115 million, has established himself as a vital part of the squad. At just 23 years old, he’s already made 37 appearances this season and even captained the side on occasion. His work ethic, leadership, and consistency have made him a favorite under manager Enzo Maresca.
Al Nassr, known for recruiting big names like Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, reportedly targeted Caicedo as a “dream signing.” But Chelsea aren’t interested in any offers. The club views him as their most important player and values him at over £100 million. With a contract running until 2031, the Blues are focused on building their future around him.
Manager Maresca has praised Caicedo as possibly the best defensive midfielder in the world, and pundits like Jason Cundy echo the sentiment. Chelsea’s response? Hands off — Caicedo’s staying at StamfordBridge.
