Arsenal target Moises Caicedo makes transfer U-turn in blow to Gunners as he reveals his ‘dream club’
BRIGHTON star Moises Caicedo revealed Real Madrid are his “dream” club, just three months after trying to force a move away to Arsenal.
Caicedo has stood out this season in the Premier League and attracted interest from the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and the Gunners, who had a £70million bid rejected in January.
However, the midfielder revealed his “biggest dream” would be to join Real and win the Champions League.
Caicedo told Carrusel Deportivo: “I like Real Madrid. It has always been my dream to play for Real Madrid.
“I’m doing things very well now, so why not join Real Madrid one day and win the Champions League? That is my biggest dream.”
This comes after Caicedo pleaded with Brighton owner Tony Bloom to let him join Arsenal during the January transfer window.
The Ecuador international tried to force a move away from the Amex Stadium with a controversial Instagram post.
However, the 21-year-old was denied a move to North London and instead signed a new deal tying him with the Seagulls until 2027.
Caicedo recently revealed: “I was really close to going [to Arsenal]. I suffered a lot.
“I’m sure I’m going to have many more opportunities. That’s why I continue to do things well. [But] it was tough.

“At the beginning when I didn’t end up going, lots of people would make fun of me on Instagram.
“People treated me badly. I didn’t check my social media because it would hurt me to see things.”
Caicedo has amassed a total of one goal and one assist in 33 appearances across all competitions so far this season.
