The club reached an agreement with Brighton on Sunday for a potential fee of £115 million. Following this, the Ecuador international underwent his medical evaluation on Monday.
Caicedo has signed an eight-year contract with the possibility of an additional year, opting for Chelsea over Liverpool, who had also negotiated with Brighton. The initial deal amounts to £100 million, with an extra £15 million available in performance-based add-ons.
This significant signing elevates Chelsea's summer spending beyond £800 million since the club's takeover by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital in May 2022.
