Liverpool have outbid Chelsea for Moises Caicedo as they seek to bolster their midfield before the start of the new Premier League season, according to reports.
Chelsea have had an £80m offer for the Brighton star rejected and have since submitted a £48m bid for Southampton's Romeo Lavia, who is also a target for Jurgen Klopp.
The offer of £75m plus £5m in add-ons was the fourth bid from Chelsea that Brighton have dismissed for Caicedo as they hold out for £100m.
According to The Telegraph, Liverpool's offer surpasses the £80m from Chelsea but the Ecuadorian international prefers a move to Stamford Bridge.
