Transfer: Inter Miami agrees deal to sign Caicedo

Inter Miami has reached an agreement to acquire Fricio Caicedo from LDU Quito.

The young defender was initially set to join Belgian club Royal Antwerp but has now been secured by the American side.

Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that the Major League Soccer team has reached a deal to sign the center-back.

He stated, “Deal in place for the 2008-born center-back who was on the verge of joining Royal Antwerp… and is now heading to Inter Miami. Hijack accomplished.”

Caicedo attracted interest from the Belgian Pro League club Royal Antwerp in December 2025, and reports from Ecuador indicated that he had agreed to join the Belgian side in July 2026.

After representing Ecuador at the under-15, under-17, and under-20 levels, Caicedo was invited to first team training by manager Sebastián Beccacece in May 2025.

In May 2026, he received his first call-up to the full squad for the country’s training camp in the United States in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Caicedo made his international debut during Ecuador’s 2–1 friendly victory over Saudi Arabia on 30 May 2026, entering the match as a late substitute for Pervis Estupiñán.
