Carlos Baleba has turned on the green light, Man United only has one last hurdle

VIỆT HÙNG |

The Old Trafford team is paying special attention to Carlos Baleba. However, it will not be easy to convince Brighton to release him at this time.

The 21-year-old Cameroonian star has emerged as a potential midfield addition to Ruben Amorim's formation, helping to reduce Bruno Fernandes' defensive duties. The arrival of Baleba will allow the Man United captain to hold the ball more and play the role of coordinator from midfield. This is the position where the Portuguese player is expected to maximize his qualities.

Fabrizio Romano revealed that Man United still maintain contact with Carlos Baleba's representative. The two sides are discussing contracts, salaries and want to speed up the process. However, for Brighton, the deal is not specific and is certainly not easy.

Brighton will make a very high demand, but Baleba's door to Man United is not necessarily closed. The "Red Devils" leadership believes that the Cameroonian midfielder is the most suitable piece and wants to try it to the end, although Brighton will not be easy to release him.

In the context of Brighton being rigid, Carlos Baleba is in the opposite direction. The Athletic confirmed that Baleba has expressed his desire to leave his home team to join M.U. The midfielder's representative also agreed with the personal terms offered by the "Red Devils" if Brighton approved. However, "The Sea Corn" still maintains the valuation of about 104 million pounds and is almost unconcessible.

The Athletic said that to make the deal go smoothly, the Baleba representative is willing to adjust down the commission fee available from Man United. Previously, the "Red Devils" also began questioning the Baleba representative about the feasibility of the deal. This is a familiar approach for the Old Trafford team recently.

Man United used the same approach to Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. This is one of the innovations of Man United in the summer transfer window of 2025 and the results show that everything seems to be on the right track.

However, Brighton's board said that all information about Man United and Carlos Baleba has not been verified so far. CEO Paul Barber affirmed: M.U has not contacted me, everything is still just a rumor. We always sell good players at the right time, not only for them but also for the club.

Baleba is a great talent, with many years of top-notch play ahead. We hope he will stay long. However, in football, there are always unpredictable factors".

A statement from Brighton's representative showed that the Amex team wanted to keep Carlos Baleba for a while longer to attract the attention of the big clubs. They assess the 21-year-old talent as being worth equal to or more than their senior Moises Caicedo.

With the current fragile midfield, Man United are very eager to own Carlos Baleba. However, in the context that the "Red Devils" spent more than 200 million Euros this summer, spending a huge amount of money to recruit a young talent is considered extremely lax.
