Instagram message and representation change
Moises Caicedo surprised Chelsea supporters with a late night statement on his official Instagram account that he then deleted. In the message he said his agreement with Manuel Sierra of Football Division Worldwide had ended and that Ali Barat of Epic no longer represents him. He added that the contract in question expired on 14 August 2025 and that he has assembled a new group of people he trusts.
Chelsea contract context and club stance
Caicedo joined from Brighton in August 2023 for a reported British record fee of 115 million pounds. He signed an eight year deal with an option for a ninth. Recent reporting around the club has been clear about long term plans for the midfielder. Chelsea would reject approaches and continue to build the side with him at its core.
Stamford Bridge statement win against Liverpool
In the most recent league match at Stamford Bridge the Ecuador international opened the scoring in a 2 to 1 win over Liverpool. He drove through the middle and struck from around 22 yards in the fourteenth minute. The visiting goalkeeper got a touch but could not keep the shot out of the top left corner. Cody Gakpo equalised in the sixty third minute for Liverpool and Estevao netted the winner in stoppage time.
Teammate reaction and numbers underline impact
Reece James praised the midfielder by saying the goal showed his quality and that not everyone realises how good he is. The club poll on the official app gave Caicedo 86 percent of the Player of the Match vote. He patrolled the centre of the pitch, won the ball five times, completed 45 passes with nine into the final third, and made two successful tackles. He also began the decisive move by breaking the press with a forward pass to Romeo Lavia that launched the winning attack.
