Jamie Carragher has weighed in on the “mess” surrounding Liverpool target Moises Caicedo as Chelsea edge towards winning the battle for him
The Reds are going head-to-head with their Premier League rivals for the right to sign the Ecuadorian midfielder.
The ball is now firmly in the Blues court to see whether they match Liverpool’s latest offer.
Carragher has given his view on the situation and suggested that the Reds’ move for Caicedo goes against their previously swift and efficient work in the transfer market.

“Liverpool I think for a long time have had the best structure in terms of getting transfers done and getting it over the line. Even in this window and going back to January: Cody Gakpo was just announced. There was no real sort of build-up.
“Szoboszlai, there was talk the day before that he was going to come in, and it was done the next day. And you know Liverpool it seems to me, they’ve got a deal done with the club, they haven’t really got a deal done with the player and that’s just not right.
“How anyone now agrees a fee with a club and then can’t get a deal over the line with a player, that’s just not the right thing to do. You don’t put a bid in unless you know the player’s going to come.
“It just feels like how Liverpool have done business over the last five or six years under Jurgen Klopp and it just feels like a bit of a mess. It’s a little bit of a panic because Liverpool have to buy someone now between now and the end of the window to fill that position. Everyone knows that and it just leaves them in a bit of a precarious position.”
