Rumour was Chelsea were offering double the wages that Liverpool were for Caicedo, so if the same holds true for Lavia then how is he going to say no? For a still mostly unproven player the chance to make double probably outweighs what is "better for his career", especially if it's a stupid 8 year contract. If he flops at Liverpool he loses millions, if he's a bench warmer at Chelsea, which is pretty much a flop, he still gets paid.
