Arsenal’s second bid of £70m for Caicedo was rejected as Brighton maintain that the 21-year-old is not for sale. Despite the setback, Arsenal continue to negotiate, but haven’t yet made a decision on a third bid.
According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal may walk away from the deal if their latest offer is not accepted.
The possibility of a club-record offer from Arsenal is being considered, but a deal for Caicedo completing in the next 24+ hours appears doubtful.
It is uncertain if Arsenal has a backup plan if the transfer falls through although speculation is starting to build and they have been linked with a move for Chelsea’s Jorginho.
As for Trossard, he’d had a falling out with the Brighton manager and had absolutely no need to force a move, they were happy to let him go and the player was offered to Arsenal.
So, not like Moises Caicedo in the slightest.
