Brighton transfer news – Roberto De Zerbi agrees Moises Caicedo departure
Roberto De Zerbi has done all he can in his plea to keep Moises Caicedo at Brighton, if reports from Fabrizio Romano are to be believed.
Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi told Moises Caicedo in January to stay at the club until June despite huge bids… and then promised to sell him in the summer in case of good proposal 🔵🇪🇨 #BHAFC

The transfer expert has stated that De Zerbi spoke with Caicedo in January, when both Chelsea and Arsenal were interested in signing him, and managed to keep him until the end of the season. However, this summer, a promise from De Zerbi will be kept and Caicedo will be sold when the right offer comes in for him, with three clubs interested.
Brighton transfer news – Julio Enciso unaware of Manchester City interest
One Brighton player who has really burst onto the scene towards the end of this season and a large reason why the Seagulls have qualified for Europe is Julio Enciso. The Brighton youngster has a great range of shooting and is considered one of the best young players in the Premier League. However, this can only mean one thing – interest from the big clubs.
Given Brighton will already lose some of their big players to the Premier League big six, they won’t like to hear that Manchester City want to sign Enciso. Apparently, though, Enciso was not aware of such rumours so hadn’t even contemplated moving to Manchester City until now.

"My agent didn't tell me anything about that. The same thing happened when I moved to Brighton. I think if it's going to happen, it will & if not then I need to continue to work hard. It gives me a lot of motivation to have teams show interest." pic.twitter.com/rj94mNeXRx
