Liverpool and Chelsea are among a number of clubs who continue to keep an eye on Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo's situation.
Caicedo has two-and-a-half years left on his contract, and Brighton are aware of the interest in the player.
It is understood Caicedo will move to a new agency this month, thought to be Futbol Division, the same company that looks after his Ecuador team-mate Piero Hincapie.
Speaking this week after Brighton's 4-1 win at Everton, Caicedo said he intends to help Brighton qualify for the Europa League this season suggesting he will not be moving in January.
The Ecuador international said: "We are having a great season with this coach and I am sure we are going to stay up there in the table. We are training very well, are very focused on every match and I'm sure we will take Brighton to a qualification place for the Europa League."
Caicedo turned the heads of the Premier League duo after his impressive performances with Ecuador at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Brighton have no intention of parting with the 21-year-old in January and are under no pressure to sell, with the midfielder under contract at the club until 2025.
Caicedo started Ecuador's three World Cup games, scoring in the 2-1 defeat to Senegal as they failed to qualify from Group A.
Brighton signed Caicedo from Independiente del Valle for £5m in February 2021 when Graham Potter was in charge.
If the he were to leave for Chelsea, he would be following former team-mate Marc Cucurella and head coach Potter to Stanford Bridge.
Who will be on the move this winter? The January transfer window opened on Sunday January 1, 2023 and closes at 11pm on Tuesday January 31, 2023.
