I'd take him. He's a quality player & versatile. Still really young and would get better under Pep.
According to Sky - the unnamed club is from …….drum roll…. SaudiRumors swirling today that an unnamed club has put in a hefty bid for Caicedo. Could it be us?
He is only 21 years old, Premier League proven, and as versatile as they come. He can be used as a fullback on both sides, a double pivot next to Rodri/Stones/Gvardiol, and even as a #8 in the Gundogan/Kovacic role. Similarities can be drawn between him and Bernardo Silva in terms of his ability to play anywhere. Albeit slightly different as Bernardo can operate the attacking wings while Caicedo is more comfortable in the defensive side of it. The Kante comparisons are also clear.
In my opinion this is a player that Pep would absolutely love to have in his squad. Can we pull this off?

Chuck phillips in as a freebieIsn't he a defensive midfielder? It would only make sense if Phillips was on his way out which doesn't seem to be happening.
Can this mean that Bernardo goes ?I'd take him. He's a quality player & versatile. Still really young and would get better under Pep.
You can't really have too much high-quality young talent. I would like to see our next generation of young talent coached by Pep.he’s not needed at all
I'm 99% sure it's Mitoma. Tolmie tweeted earlier today that we were looking at another Prem club besides Palace for a winger. We've been linked with Mitoma over the last few months. We've not been linked, as far as I'm aware, with Caicedo.
I also think Brighton will be more willing to let Mitoma go than Caicedo. They've already lost Mac Allister from their midfield. Caicedo signed a new contract this year, Mitoma only has 2 years left on his deal. If we can send Palmer the other way it could be a simple enough deal to do.
Have we been linked? only seen chat on here. Ensico ive seen linked in the press.I'm 99% sure it's Mitoma.

Doesn't Mitoma only play on the left?I'm 99% sure it's Mitoma. Tolmie tweeted earlier today that we were looking at another Prem club besides Palace for a winger. We've been linked with Mitoma over the last few months. We've not been linked, as far as I'm aware, with Caicedo.

got loads over there Silva, Foden, McAtee, Palmer, BobbDoesn't Mitoma only play on the left?
We need a RW.
Only two of those are proven quality tbf.got loads over there Silva, Foden, McAtee, Palmer, Bobb
Niall Quinn's Enciso pants?Enciso we’ve been linked with him a lot as well
Id want a Right Footer wo can play both, only seen Mitoma out there once and he was poor. Ensico would be the choice i thinkOnly two of those are proven quality tbf.
Last 3 not ready or potentially not good enough, foden/bernardo can play there but loosing mahrez means we need a right winger more than a left wingergot loads over there Silva, Foden, McAtee, Palmer, Bobb
