Manchester United have received a major boost in their efforts Carlos Baleba. He is the highly rated midfielder at Brighton. Although his price tag is high, recent developments show that things are heading United’s way.
Baleba’s price and position
Brighton rates Baleba very highly; reports estimate his asking price at more than £100 million. Some media suggest that Brighton are asking for €120 million, which equates to a similarly large number in pounds.
Baleba is only 21 years old. He was impressive in Brighton’s midfield, standing out with energy, tackles, recoveries and forward runs.
United’s interests and strategy
Man united see Baleba as a priority in midfield. They have taken the first steps: contact through intermediaries and inquire about the conditions. United believe Baleba could suit their style under Ruben Amorim, and they are exploring how financing or structured payments could work given his high costs.
However, Brighton resists. Their manager, Fabian Hurzeler, has publicly said yes not fear of losing key players, and that the club remains focused.
Baleba: challenges ahead
- That of Manchester United budget limitations and financial rules (Profit & Sustainability Rules) make huge compensation difficult.
- Brighton are firm on their valuation and may refuse to sell unless the terms are particularly high.
- United must decide whether to push hard now or wait for a better opportunity in a future transfer window.
Author insight
This “boost” is more than wishful thinking. Baleba is really on United’s radar, and his openness to this move moves things forward. But price is still an issue. Whether United can meet Brighton’s demands is still a big question. They could also find a clever way around it. If they can pull this off, it could be a turning point in how they rebuild the squad. But if not, United may have to shift their focus elsewhere. Or they could wait for a more affordable time.
