EPL: Embarrassing – Alan Shearer reacts as Moises Caicedo turns Liverpool down for Chelsea

Premier League legend Alan Shearer has expressed his belief that Liverpool will feel embarrassed by the apparent rejection of Moises Caicedo in favor of a move to Chelsea this summer.

Initially, it seemed that Caicedo was on his way to Anfield, with Liverpool reportedly agreeing to a British record £111 million deal with Brighton.

However, the Ecuador international made it clear to Liverpool that he preferred a move to Chelsea, having already agreed on personal terms with the Blues earlier in the summer.

As a result of this latest development, Liverpool is reportedly prepared to withdraw their interest in Caicedo. It’s yet to be seen whether Chelsea will match the £111 million bid that Brighton had accepted from Liverpool on Friday.

Despite previously making bids for Caicedo in the range of £60-80 million, Chelsea is expected to make an improved offer to secure the 21-year-old’s signature.

Shearer shared his thoughts on the transfer saga concerning Caicedo, stating on The Rest Is Football podcast, “It’s pretty embarrassing for Liverpool if that is the case. They have agreed a deal for £111m and then all of a sudden the player has said, ‘no thanks, I don’t fancy coming to you, I am going to London instead’.
