- Brighton want over £70m for each of Caicedo and Mac Allister
Brighton have completed a club-record deal for Watford forward Joao Pedro, who will join Roberto De Zerbi's squad at the end of the season.
The 21-year-old forward has signed a five-year deal at the Amex Stadium, an agreement which will start when the summer transfer window opens at the end of the season.
Pedro has scored 11 goals in 35 Championship appearances for Watford this season and was part of the Hornets' squads that were relegated from the Premier League in 2020 and 2022.

The transfer eclipses the Seagulls' signing of defender Adam Webster from Bristol City for around £20m in August 2019.
Meanwhile, Brighton will expect offers well in excess of the £70m turned down for Moises Caicedo in January to sanction his exit and that of Alexis Mac Allister this summer.
The players are both on long contracts, which are not thought to include release clauses as CEO Paul Barber has revealed the club avoids them.
Both Caicedo and Mac Allister have been star players for Brighton this season, and have unsurprisingly attracted multiple suitors, putting the Seagulls in an enviable negotiating position.

Caicedo agreed fresh terms until 2027 in March, with the club having the option of an extra year. Arsenal, who saw their £70m bid rebuffed for the Ecuador international in the winter window, retain strong interest in him.
Caicedo has also featured on the wishlists of Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool, although the latter have been positively pitching to Mac Allister's camp. The Argentina international is high on Jurgen Klopp's shortlist of targets.
