Jose Enrique has backed the Reds to sign Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo.
The Reds swooped in at the last moment to hijack Chelsea's two-month long pursuit of the Ecuadorian
the Blues were ready to rise up to £100 million (their last bid), the Reds submitted a proposal worth £110 million
Brighton had reportedly made it clear that they will sell the midfielder to the highest bidder
The player is expected to complete his medical and personal terms resolved quickly, as the Reds do not want any late twists in the deal.
The fee will make Caicedo the most expensive midfielder in the world, but Enrique has defended the Reds' decision to splash the cash
Enrique
"Is a lot of money, but if he comes and do well, no one will remember about how much he cost And we need it a DM like crazy, and I don't see another better option out there for that position. Hopefully is confirm(ed) soon"
For comparison, Arsenal bought Declan Rice for £105 million this summer, while Real Madrid splashed £103 million for Jude Bellingham.
