# Liverpool: Reds target Moises Caicedo set to change agents

**Rumoured [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) transfer target Moises Caicedo is set to change agents as he looks to secure a move away from Brighton, according to Fabrizio Romano.**

### The Lowdown: Caicedo a Liverpool target

The Reds produced another hapless midfield showing on Saturday night, with Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Thiago [all struggling](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2023/01/liverpool-2-2-wolves-player-ratings/) in the 2-2 draw against Wolves in the FA Cup third round.

It is clear that reinforcements are required in the middle of the park, given the Reds’ [ongoing struggles](https://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwibnOLc77f8AhUOQUEAHfVDAZQQFnoECBIQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.espn.com%2Fsoccer%2Fliverpool-engliverpool%2Fstory%2F4785911%2Fliverpools-dysfunctional-midfield-at-heart-of-their-problems&usg=AOvVaw0VaZv2dL6e7HTVqCpDFZwp) in that sector, and Caicedo has emerged as a primary target, with numerous [reports](https://twitter.com/skysports_sheth/status/1611371008581324801?s=46&t=PajkvgonbJManh7xF9pYmQ) linking him with a move to Anfield.

An interesting update has emerged regarding the Brighton gem’s future, one which suggests that a move away might just be on the cards.

### The Latest: Caicedo planning agency switch

Writing on [Substack](https://caughtoffside.substack.com/p/the-daily-briefing-arsenal-remain) \[via [Caught Offside](https://www.caughtoffside.com/2023/01/08/moises-caicedo-chelsea-liverpool-transfer-exclusive-update/)\], Romano claimed that Caicedo is now planning on switching agents amid his openness for a transfer.

The Italian stated:

> “I think Moises Caicedo would be open to joining any top club, this is why he’s going to have new agents soon.
>
> “I don’t know his preference as of today, I’m not aware of any conversation with friends about Liverpool, but for sure he’s hoping for a big move.”

### The Verdict: Perfect January signing?

It is simply essential that Liverpool sign a midfielder in the January transfer window before making further additions in that area this summer, with [long-time target](https://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjdppCK8Lf8AhUVbsAKHU3pD2UQFnoECDIQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.irishmirror.ie%2Fsport%2Fsoccer%2Fjude-bellingham-manutd-liverpool-england-28561365&usg=AOvVaw3YwHdo4j_3Y-c8_yRVQW8c) Jude Bellingham hopefully coming in at some stage.

However, Caicedo stands out as arguably the best option to be signed in the next few weeks, considering his [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) experience and how he has excelled for Brighton, while he would reportedly cost just [half](https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/liverpool-transfers-brighton-moises-caicedo-28899199) of the [£130m](https://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjdppCK8Lf8AhUVbsAKHU3pD2UQFnoECDIQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.irishmirror.ie%2Fsport%2Fsoccer%2Fjude-bellingham-manutd-liverpool-england-28561365&usg=AOvVaw3YwHdo4j_3Y-c8_yRVQW8c) price tag which has been quoted for Bellingham.

He would add the legs and tenacity that Liverpool’s midfield is so seriously lacking at the moment, having averaged [2.9 tackles](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/410175/Show/Mois%C3%A9s-Caicedo) per game in the league this season. No Reds player can match that tally, with Thiago the closest on [2.8](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/26/Show/England-Liverpool) per match.

Hopefully FSG can pounce on the player’s reported willingness for a transfer and his proposed change of agency.
