Chelsea's hopes of signing Moises Caicedo from Brighton appear to have stalled, with the Seagulls setting a whopping £100m price tag for the midfielder.

Speaking after Brighton's final game of the season against Aston Villa, De Zerbi said: "I think it can be the last game for Alexis [Mac Allister] and Moises.
