Caicedo’s stance contrasts with comments made by teammate Enzo Fernández, who recently left his future open when asked about staying beyond this season. The Argentine stated he is focused on Chelsea for now but would evaluate his situation after the World Cup.
Both midfielders are tied to long-term deals, with Caicedo contracted until 2031 with an option for an additional year, while Fernández’s agreement runs until 2032. Their importance to Chelsea has inevitably attracted attention from Europe’s elite clubs.
Chelsea’s inconsistent form and uncertainty over UEFA Champions League qualification have fueled speculation that rivals could attempt to lure key players away during the summer transfer window.
Fernández’s remarks sparked debate, prompting Liam Rosenior to address the situation. The Chelsea head coach said he had spoken with the midfielder and remains confident in his commitment to the club’s long-term project.
Meanwhile, Caicedo reiterated his focus both on club and country while on international duty with Ecuador national football team. With a friendly against Morocco national football team looming, he emphasized that his priority remains improving and finishing strongly with both Chelsea and his national side.
