Chelsea<\/a> midfielder Moises Caicedo has agreed a lucrative new contract to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

The Ecuador international, 24, had been pushing for improved terms after helping the club win the Conference League and the Club World Cup last season<\/p>\n

His previous eight-year contract was signed after his move from Brighton<\/a> in 2023 in a then British-record \u00a3100m deal, rising to \u00a3115m, which has since been surpassed by Liverpool<\/a>‘s \u00a3125m signing of striker Alexander Isak.<\/p>\n

It is understood the new deal runs to 2033.<\/p>\n

The deal is the second in a series of renewals designed to reward Chelsea<\/a>‘s top performers, with captain Reece James the first to sign and the club negotiating at least one further agreement before the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> had also agreed a similar pay-rise for positive performances to Cole Palmer early last season, showing a willingness to reward star performers, albeit in an incentive-based structure which is adjusted for hitting certain targets like Champions League qualification. <\/p>\n

When asked during the international break whether he would ever be interested in a move to Real Madrid, Caicedo said: “I’m focused on my club right now. I want to be a legend.”<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> regard Caicedo as one of the best midfielders in the world and he is among the club’s captains.<\/p>\n

Caicedo was the only player to start every Premier League match last season under former boss Enzo Maresca, while this campaign he has been ever present, playing 42 times and scoring five goals from defensive midfield. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, midfielder Enzo Fernandez and defender Levi Colwill are among those known to have discussed potential new contracts in the past six months.<\/p>\n

However, Fernandez is returning from a two-game internal ban following comments made during international duty about wanting to live in Spain’s capital, amid continuing links with Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

After the ban was announced by head coach Liam Rosenior, Fernandez’s agent Javier Pastore said “[He] deserves much more than he is currently earning,” in a lengthy interview with the Athletic. <\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> next face Manchester United<\/a> at Stamford Bridge, with the club sixth in the Premier League and chasing Champions League qualification via at least a fifth-place finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo has agreed a lucrative new contract to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge.
