Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi has admitted the club must find ‘the best solution’ for Moises Caicedo after he was given time off to consider his future.
Caicedo went public with his desire to leave Brighton this month following a £60m bid from Arsenal, which the Seagulls wasted little time in rejecting – as they also did with Chelsea’s enquiry about the Ecuador international earlier in the month.
Consequently, Brighton encouraged Caicedo to stay away from the club until the end of the transfer window, insisting the 21-year-old will not be sold to either London club.
As a result, Caicedo was left out of the squad that faced Liverpool in the FA Cup on Sunday, before which De Zerbi admitted he still hopes to keep the midfielder around.
“Moises is a good guy,” he told ITV. “We will see tomorrow, and in the next days, what happens. We hope he stays with us until the end of the season, but after this, it’s a question for the club and for Moises.”
