Initially, the Reds seemed poised to secure the signing of the 22-year-old Ecuadorian midfielder, having reached an agreement on his transfer fee. However, Caicedo opted against the move, expressing a preference for Chelsea.
The turning point in this decision-making process came through the influence of Enzo Fernandez, a midfielder associated with Chelsea. Fernandez successfully persuaded Caicedo to reject Liverpool's advances and instead opt for a transfer to Chelsea.
Ultimately, Chelsea emerged victorious in the pursuit of Caicedo, securing his services for a British record fee of £115 million from Brighton Hove Albion, thereby outmaneuvering Liverpool in the transfer negotiations.
