Chelsea are actively working on a deal to sign Brighton's Moises Caicedo for a British record transfer fee of £115m after the midfielder rejected Liverpool.
Caicedo wants to move to Stamford Bridge after turning down the chance to join Liverpool, despite the Reds agreeing a British record £111m fee with Brighton.
Chelsea had been prepared to offer £100m for the 21-year-old but are now working on upping their bid to £115m, which would break the British transfer record fee paid by the Blues who paid £106.8m for midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Benfica in January.
Caicedo had been expected to travel to Liverpool for a medical on Friday after Jurgen Klopp's side had a bid accepted by Brighton following a midnight deadline for bids on Thursday.
But Caicedo had a change of heart and told Liverpool he did not want to join. He remained in London and has made it clear he only wants to leave Brighton for Chelsea, who have been pursuing him all summer.
