World-class midfielder Moises Caicedo has reportedly “given the green light” to a lucrative new contract, with Chelsea rejecting interest from European giants Real Madrid and securing a major long-term addition.
The 24-year-old Ecuador international is set to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge until June 2033, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Moises Caicedo gives green light to new contract with Chelsea
The progress in negotiations comes at a crucial time for Chelsea’s ownership of BlueCo.
The club has endured a tumultuous 2025/26 season under manager Liam Rosenior and securing the commitment of its most important assets has become a priority to stabilize the project.
Romano wrote on X: “Breaking news: Chelsea are closing in on a new contract with Moises Caicedo! As reported by @CLMerlo, the deal will run until June 2033 and final details will be sorted out. Caicedo has given the green light to stay at #CFC long term.”
The deal follows in the footsteps of captain Reece James, who also recently signed a long-term contract extension.
For Caicedo, the move is a clear sign of confidence in Chelsea’s future, even though they currently sit sixth in the Premier League and face competition for Champions League qualification.
Caicedo was on Real Madrid’s target list
The extension is a big blow to Real Madrid, who had made Caicedo their first choice to add to their midfield this summer.
Manager Florentino Perez is ready to launch a major bid for the “world-class” midfielder, according to reports from Spain.
However, Caicedo recently moved to put the rumors to rest, telling El Chiringuito TV that his only focus is to become a “Chelsea legend”.
By signing a nine-year contract, Caicedo effectively ends any speculation about a move to the Santiago Bernabéu, ensuring he remains a key player in the Blues’ midfield for the next decade.
