Liverpool reach agreement for Caicedo
As Pulse Sports reported in the early hours of today, Liverpool seemingly won the race for the Colombian international and were set to pay a British record transfer fee of £110 million.
Klopp's side are in dire need of a player of Caicedo's profile following the exit of Fabinho to the Saudi Professional League and have been in a protracted negotiation of their own with Southampton for Romeo Lavia, with the Saints refusing to budge on their valuation for the Manchester City academy graduate.
In a development that shocked many, the Reds, with the season's curtain raiser nigh upon us, reached Brighton's ask and were set to hijack Chelsea's summer target.
