Real Madrid are closely monitoring Chelsea midfielder Moisés Caicedo as they plan for the future rebuild of their squad under manager Xabi Alonso.
Journalist Confirms Real Madrid’s Interest in Chelsea Star Moisés Caicedo
The club sees the Ecuadorian international as a powerful, ball-winning midfielder whose profile could fit perfectly into a new setup alongside a creative force like Jude Bellingham.
His dynamic, combative presence, energy, and ability to break up play and cover ground make him an attractive candidate for top clubs seeking midfield balance.
However, any potential move is fraught with practical hurdles. Caicedo only joined Chelsea in the summer of 2023 in a deal reported to be worth around £115m (€116m), a British-record transfer fee.
Furthermore, he is tied to Stamford Bridge on a long-term contract that runs until 2031, giving Chelsea significant leverage in any negotiations.
Chelsea reportedly view the 23-year-old as a non-sale asset and would only consider an exceptional offer.
Suggested price tags circulating in the market reflect that reality, with figures in the region of £120-130m mentioned, indicating that any approach would be complicated and expensive.
For now, Real Madrid are compiling a midfield shortlist and watching the Chelsea star carefully, but they are simultaneously assessing their current squad balance and the tactical system Alonso wants to implement.
With Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga, and Federico Valverde already in the squad, Los Blancos appear to be treating Caicedo as one of several potential future solutions rather than an immediate priority.
The midfielder’s stock continues to rise, and his recent stunning goal for Chelsea against Liverpool will have done little to dissuade potential suitors.
Paris Saint-Germain have also been mentioned as holding a long-term interest in the player.
While Caicedo is exactly the kind of profile Real Madrid would love to add, the transfer reality means the Spanish giants are likely to remain observers for the time being.
