Premier League club Brighton are demanding £100 million from Chelsea for Moises Caicedo, according to The Times.
Chelsea have been in talks with Brighton for Caicedo this month but a bid of around £55m was rejected last week.
Chelsea boss Graham Potter is pushing for the club to sign Caicedo with Benfica demanding around £106million for Enzo Fernandez.
When asked about his future at Brighton, Caicedo said earlier this week: “I am focused on Brighton.
“I am here, I’m playing every day. Things from outside don’t trouble me, nor does it take that focus away because I’m focused only on here. I handle it well.
“You hear rumours here and there, but I only try to be focused on the club where I am now, the club which opened the doors for me to be playing every week.”
