Moisés Caicedo Sparks Confusion with Deleted Instagram Announcement
Chelsea midfielder Moisés Caicedo briefly stirred speculation and confusion this week after posting — and swiftly deleting — an Instagram statement announcing a split from his agent. The unexpected message, which appeared to come from his legal team, hinted at a significant change in the player’s representation but was removed shortly after it went live.
Caicedo, a rising star from Ecuador, joined Chelsea in a high-profile move from Brighton & Hove Albion for a British-record fee of £115 million. The 23-year-old signed an eight-year contract, with the option for a further year, marking Chelsea’s long-term commitment to his development. Since his arrival, Caicedo has become a core part of the squad under head coach Enzo Maresca. He has made over 100 appearances and netted six goals across all competitions.
His contributions on the pitch have not gone unnoticed. Since donning the Chelsea shirt, Caicedo has played a crucial role in helping the club secure both the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup titles — two significant achievements in recent seasons.
But off the pitch, his recent online activity has raised eyebrows.
The deleted statement reportedly came via Caicedo’s legal representative and stated that he had officially terminated his professional relationship with agent Manuel Sierra of Football Division Worldwide. The abrupt nature of the announcement, followed by its immediate removal, left fans and analysts speculating about what might be happening behind the scenes.
While neither Caicedo nor the club has issued a follow-up statement, the incident suggests potential changes in his management or broader career direction. In the world of modern football — where player representation plays a crucial role in transfers, sponsorships, and contract negotiations — such shifts can have far-reaching implications.
For now, fans will be watching closely to see whether Caicedo offers any clarification in the coming days and how this development might influence his future at Chelsea or beyond.
