MANCHESTER, UK – Manchester United has made contact with the representatives of Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba this week to inquire about his situation.
This interest comes as the club prepares to bolster its midfield after finalizing a deal for striker Benjamin Šeško.
Brighton’s position on the matter is firm: they plan to keep Baleba, and any potential transfer would be a difficult and expensive one.
The club considers the 21-year-old an integral part of their future, and he has a very high price tag.
While United believes that agreeing on personal terms with the player would not be an issue, the club-to-club negotiations are expected to be a major hurdle.
The pursuit of a new midfielder is a priority for Manchester United, and the move for Baleba highlights their ambition, despite the significant financial demands of the deal.
