Manchester United advances in negotiations for Carlos Baleba after positive signal from Brighton
Manchester United have advanced talks to sign Carlos Baleba from Brighton & Hove Albion after receiving a positive signal from the player’s camp, according to TEAMtalk. The 21-year-old Cameroonian midfielder is valued at around £100 million (R$730.91 million), with United exploring payment structures to break Brighton’s well-known resistance in transfer negotiations.
Positive Early Contact
Initial discussions between United and Baleba’s representatives have been encouraging, with sources suggesting the player is open to a move to Old Trafford. Brighton, however, are holding firm on their valuation, making the deal complex.
United’s pursuit of Baleba follows their decisive market approach this summer, having already secured Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford and Matheus Cunha from Wolves.
Tactical Fit for Ruben Amorim
Baleba is seen as central to manager Ruben Amorim’s tactical plans, offering balance to a squad boosted by recent attacking signings. United believe his profile fits perfectly alongside their new offensive reinforcements.
Transfer Window Outlook
Even if the deal extends beyond the current transfer window, United’s sustained interest signals their determination to strengthen the squad. The club also continues to monitor potential outgoings notably the reported interest from Chelsea in winger Alejandro Garnacho, as relayed by TEAMtalk correspondent Fraser Fletcher.
