According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea is preparing for formal talks on a new long-term contract with Moises Caideo and is expected to be negotiated in the coming months.
Since March, the club intends to ensure that the future of the Ecuadorian midfielder has been in place and the process will now continue.
Caicedo, who last summer’s UK record £115 million deal from Brighton & Hove Albion, has become a key figure in Chelsea midfielder.
Despite a turbulent season, the 23-year-old was impressed by his relentless work rate, ability to win balls and an increasingly stable attitude.
Moises Caideo is in good condition
His recent performance further strengthens the club’s view on the cornerstone of the future.
Chelsea sees Kesdo as a “world-class midfielder” and is eager to reward him with improved conditions and longer trades, which reflects his importance to the team.

His current contract lasts until 2031, plus a year, but Chelsea hopes their best player will sign a long-term contract at the club.
The Blues hope to build stability within the squad and avoid future contracts involving key players.
Chelsea’s interest rates are high and want to ensure his future
Caicedo has reportedly settled well in western West London and is willing to hold discussions.
The players’ camp is expected to meet with Chelsea officials before the preseason, and talks may accelerate during summer breaks.
If the two sides reach an agreement, the new contract will reaffirm the central role of Caicedo together with Enzo Fernández and Romeo Lavia in Chelsea’s future midfield engines.
Although Caicedo will be staying at the club for a long time, Christopher Nkunku may be out soon.
