Moving on? Chelsea considering bid for PSG's Leandro Paredes after growing frustrated with Moises Caicedo transfer chase

The Blues remain in the market for midfield reinforcements after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/completed-premier-league-transfers-2023-24/bltaa9144c3cb470a83" target="_blank">parting company with the likes of</a> N’Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mason Mount and Mateo Kovacic. They had been hoping that long-standing interest in Brighton star Caicedo would reach a positive conclusion in the summer transfer window.

WHAT HAPPENED?

That has not been the case, with the Seagulls knocking back several bids as they refuse to budge in their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/moises-caicedo-attempt-negotiate-brighton-100m-asking-price-seeks-chelsea-move/blt099bcb2f2a4c65b8" target="_blank">£100 million ($127m) valuation of the highly-rated Ecuador international</a>.

He does not fit the profile of player usually targeted by the Todd Boehly-Clearlake ownership team, but the 29-year-old’s experience could prove invaluable.

AND WHAT'S MORE

There remains a chance that Conor Gallagher will also leave Chelsea before the next deadline passes, with the Blues still keeping an eye on Edson Alvarez of Ajax, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/tyler-adams-follow-christian-pulisic-footsteps-leeds-midfielder-chelsea-transfer-target/blt398b22cb3a7a2bc8 " target="_blank">USMNT star Tyler Adams of Leeds</a>, Everton’s Amadou Onana and Celta Vigo star Gabri Veiga.
