I really feel that both he and Caicedo should have said that whichever team won yesterday would be who they would go to - or that in the event of a draw, as it turned out, they'd let a coin decide which went to which club.

On the other hand, is there another 8 year contract being dangled at Stamford Bridge?

Chelsea is offering a way better deal to Caicedo and reports say Lavia is also preferring chelsea.

Well, yeah, 8 years at what I assume are very generous wages. He could get injured next week and still get paid for a decade. It's the smart move on the player's part. Seems mad from Chelsea though. I guess they'll have insurance though.

Maybe Chelsea will try to offer 10 years contract for him

Chelsea are offering big contracts for the amortization benefits it brings to expensive transfers. They won't do that for a relatively cheaper transfer

that loophole has been closed, 5 years is the maximum amortization from this summer window forward
