Moises Caicedo joins CAA Base – Leon Angel and Frank Trimboli add Chelsea midfielder after AS1 chapte

published on 26 April 2026

Moises Caicedo has a new agency team

Moises Caicedo has changed representation and joined CAA Base, a move that places one of Chelsea’s biggest midfield assets with one of the most powerful agencies in the English market, as Nicolo Schira reported. The timing is notable too, because it comes right around the moment Chelsea tied the Ecuador international down to a new contract until 2033.

That makes this more than a routine administrative switch. Caicedo is already one of Chelsea’s central figures, and a move into CAA Base gives him a representation structure deeply embedded in Premier League dealmaking, elite player management and high-level contract work. The agency is led by Leon Angel and Frank Trimboli.

Player profile - Ecuadorian engine

Caicedo is not just another client addition. He has already made 140 appearances for Chelsea, scored eight goals, helped the club win the UEFA Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup, and worn the captain’s armband on several occasions this season.

He has also gone from a difficult first phase after his move from Brighton into becoming one of Chelsea’s most reliable players. That arc matters, because he is no longer just an expensive signing being judged on fee. He is now one of the club’s key midfield leaders.

The agency angle – CAA Base add another Chelsea heavyweight

CAA Base are one of the biggest agencies in football and already represent a number of top Premier League names. Their roster includes Cole Palmer, Trevoh Chalobah, Richarlison and Eberechi Eze, which shows the level they operate at.

That matters for Caicedo because this is the kind of agency platform built for big-club contract management, long-term commercial planning and elite-market positioning. It also creates another Chelsea crossover inside the agency, with Palmer and Chalobah already on the books.

The agency also represents Frank Lampard, who won Championship Manager of the Season after Coventry promotion to the Premier League.

What changed from the AS1 and Epic Sports chapter

Caicedo’s previous agency situation had already become a story in its own right. Last year, he publicly confirmed the end of his contract with Manuel Sierra from AS1 and Football Division Worldwide, and also clarified that he was not represented by Ali Barat of Epic Sports.

That distinction matters. Sierra had been publicly associated with Caicedo’s rise, while Ali Barat was involved around the wider transfer ecosystem during the move from Brighton to Chelsea, but not as Caicedo’s formal personal representative. In that sense, the move to CAA Base closes a messy chapter and replaces it with a much cleaner structure.

Why this move stands out

For FootballAgencies readers, this is the key point: Chelsea have one of their most important players locked in until 2033, and that player is now represented by one of the strongest agencies in the market. CAA Base were already operating around major Chelsea-linked talent, and adding Caicedo only deepens that footprint.

Caicedo’s agency switch does not carry the headline drama of a transfer, but it is still an important signal. One of the Premier League’s top midfielders has chosen to align with Leon Angel, Frank Trimboli and CAA Base, and that is the kind of move that can shape the next phase of both contract and career strategy.
