Don hutchinson, a former liverpool player, believes that if liverpool signed moises caicedo ahead of chelsea in the summer, the reds would have been the favorites for the premier league title. Caicedo, who was then brighton & hove albion, was on everyone’s transfer wishlist.
The reds even made a £110 million bid for the ecuador international, only to be outbid by chelsea, who signed him for a british-record £115 million fee (h/t the guardian). “i like mac allister, but he is not a specialised number six,” hutchinson said on bbc radio five live football daily podcast (h/t the boot room), “because they were in for caicedo.” “i think they should’ve made them favourites to win the league if they signed caicedo in the summer,” he said. “i think they need someone who will sit and protect.” Alexis mac allister joined the merseysiders for £35 million in the summer transfer window. The argentina international is mainly a no. 88. 8 but has also played as a no. Jurgen klopp has won six games this season, including on several occasions.
Despite losing another player’s signature to chelsea, the reds ended the summer transfer window. romeo lavia, meanwhile, was released by chelsea. However, klopp’s side did manage to get deals done for ryan gravenberch from bayern munich and wataru endo, the vfb stuttgart captain, before the september 1 deadline.
