Chelsea's £70m bid for Moises Caicedo has been rejected by Brighton.
It is being reported that the Seagulls Brighton value Caicedo, who was signed from Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle for £4.5m in 2021, in the same bracket as Arsenal's new record-signing Declan Rice and will look to get in the region of £100m for him.
The Blues are currently considering whether to go back with a second bid as talks between the clubs continue.
Personal terms aren't an issue according to reports, and Chelsea have reiterated that they have interest in other midfield players.
