Key Takeaways
- Moises Caicedo has put pen to paper on a fresh Chelsea deal that keeps him at Stamford Bridge until 2033.
- The Ecuador destroyer will earn a higher wage after lifting the Conference League and Club World Cup last term.
- Reece James and Cole Palmer have already landed improved terms, with Enzo Fernandez and Levi Colwill next in line.
Chelsea have secured midfield engine Moises Caicedo on a longer contract that runs for another eight years, Football News Kenya can confirm.
Club sources say the 24-year-old will pocket a bigger salary after his key role in last season’s double trophy success. The new agreement replaces the eight-year terms he signed when arriving from Brighton for a British-record £100 million in 2023.
Owners view Caicedo as a leader and one of the planet’s best holding players. He started every Premier League fixture under former coach Enzo Maresca and has already made 42 appearances this campaign, scoring five times from deep.
Captain Reece James was the first senior star to be rewarded, while attacker Cole Palmer triggered a rise early last season through performance clauses. More deals are planned before June, with Enzo Fernandez and defender Levi Colwill in active talks.
Fernandez, however, must serve an internal two-match suspension after admitting he would like to live in Madrid. His representative has since demanded a salary bump, claiming the Argentine earns less than he merits.
Caicedo brushed off Spanish transfer chatter during the international window, stating: “I’m focused on my club. I want to be a legend.”
The Blues sit sixth ahead of Sunday’s clash with Manchester United and still hope to sneak into next season’s Champions League via a top-five finish.
