Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr plot shock £100m swoop for Moises Caicedo with Chelsea star identified as 'dream' transfer target

Al-Nassr have drawn up a list of summer targets and are keen to strengthen their midfield by landing Caicedo, according to The Telegraph. The midfielder is said to be the Saudi Pro League side's "dream" target but would cost at least £100m. Caicedo joined Chelsea from Brighton in 2023 on an eight-year contract after the Blues broke the British transfer record by splashing out £115m ($146m) on the Ecuadorian.

Al-Nassr are no strangers to splashing out big money on high-profile players. The Saudi side have already brought in Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Aymeric Laporte, as well as luring Jhon Duran away from Aston Villa in the winter transfer window in a €70m (£59m/$73m) transfer. Yet despite all the big-money buys, the club still sit down in third place in the league standings, eight points behind table-toppers Al-Ittihad.

Despite Al-Nassr's interest, Chelsea are said to have "no plans" to sell Caicedo, according to reporter Ben Jacobs. The Blues are said to value the midfielder "significantly higher" than the £115m ($146m) they paid to bring him in. However, Al-Nassr could still be set for a "big summer." The Saudi side want to renew Ronaldo's contract and are also hoping to sign another wide attacker.

Caicedo is the only Chelsea player to start in every single Premier League game for the Blues this season.

Caicedo will look to finish the season on a high with Chelsea. The Blues remain in contention to win the Conference League and face Legia Warsaw next in the second leg of their quarter-final tie. Maresca's side are also aiming to secure Champions League qualification for next season but currently sit down in sixth place in the Premier League table.
