Chelsea target Moises Caicedo reportedly told guests at an awards ceremony that he wants to leave Brighton.
The Seagulls recently rejected an £80million bid from the Blues for their star midfielder.
Caicedo was named Players’ Player of the Year and Fans’ Player of the Year at an event on Tuesday night.
According to Sussex World, the Ecuador international told multiple attendees that he wants a move this summer.
Caicedo pushed for a transfer to Arsenal in January but Brighton stood firm and tied him down to a new long-term contract in March.
talkSPORT understands they will not let the 21-year-old leave for less than £100m.
