Manchester United was strongly connected to Carlos Baleba during the summer transfer window, but they could not do the deal.
Manchester United remains enthusiastic about the 21-year-old midfielder and they can return for him when the transfer window is opened in January. However, they are not the only club that likes him.
Liverpool also monitors the Brighton midfielder. The player reportedly visited Anfield earlier this month. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool decides to put the player.
Where does Carlos Baleba end up?
Pete O’Rourke revealed on football insider: “I think it would be for Manchester United if they keep an eye on that situation. Carlos Baleba is a top player.
“Man United inquired about him in the summer and the price tag of Brighton of around £ 100 million Bang United Off.
“United still has him firmly on the radar for the following summer instead of the January window and when Liverpool is on the market for a central defending midfielder, I am sure that Baleba will also be on their list.
“If it came down to who could land them, it would be concerned about United because they probably need Champions League football to convince Baleba to take that step.”
Liverpool could use Baleba
The Reds can certainly use more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and Baleba would be an exceptional acquisition. He is currently considered one of the best young talents in the Premier League.
Liverpool has the finances to get the deal over the line and the player can be tempted to come to them too. They are the Premier League champions and they have consistently fought for large trophies. On the other hand, Manchester United goes through a rough patch and they will not be able to offer him European football.
The midfielder probably costs around £ 100 million, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. He will want to compete at a high level and Liverpool can be a more attractive destination.
Manchester United urgently needs a high -quality central midfielder midfielder as he. Missing the player to Liverpool would be a devastating blow to them. It is still to be seen how the situation unfolds.
