Moises Caicedo Announces Shock Departure in Now-Deleted Post

Moises Caicedo Deletes Shock Instagram Post Announcing Split From Agent

Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo caused confusion among fans on Monday after briefly posting — and then deleting — a statement on Instagram announcing a split from his agent.

The 23-year-old Ecuadorian joined Chelsea from Brighton & Hove Albion in a then British-record £115 million transfer, signing an eight-year contract with an option for a further year. Since then, he has established himself as a key figure under Enzo Maresca, making 107 appearances and scoring six goals across all competitions.

During his time at Stamford Bridge, Caicedo has helped the club lift both the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup.

However, on Monday, the midfielder briefly stunned supporters by posting an official-looking statement before quickly deleting it. According to talkSPORT, the message — released via Caicedo’s lawyer — announced that he had terminated his relationship with agent Manuel Sierra of Football Division Worldwide.

The statement read:

“Chelsea Football Club star Moises Caicedo has separated from and is no longer represented by his former agent Manuel Sierra of Football Division Worldwide and he is not represented by Ali Barat of Epic.

The contract ended on August 14, 2025, and the player has now appointed people he can trust.”

Reports indicate that Sierra played a key role in negotiating Caicedo’s record-breaking move from Brighton to Chelsea two years ago.

Despite the off-field developments, Caicedo remains focused on his football. Recently hailed by former Blues midfielder John Obi Mikel as “the best holding midfielder in the world,” Caicedo responded modestly:

“I don’t like to say that I’m the best in the world — let the people say it. Thank you for the compliment; it makes me work even harder.”

Caicedo is expected to return to action this weekend as Chelsea resume their 2025/26 Premier League campaign against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon.
