Roberto De Zerbi issues Chelsea blow over Moises Caicedo
Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has issued a hands-off warning to Chelsea over Moises Caicedo and insists he never told the player he was allowed to leave this summer.
“It is not true. I am coach, not owner, I’m not a sporting director. I’m only a coach,” De Zerbi said.
“In my work, I am used to speaking with my players every day, for every question, every part of life, not only football. But I didn’t give my word for nothing.
“We didn’t speak about the next transfer market window and for me, he is a player like the others. OK, we are Brighton and I can understand we have to sell any player at the end of the season.
“But at the moment, I have not received news that Caicedo can leave tomorrow or in the next week. I start the next season with Caicedo in my head in the first 11, for sure.”
