🚨 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Manchester United make approach for Carlos Baleba as midfield target.

 

Manchester United have taken a significant step in their summer recruitment drive by approaching the camp of Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba this week, according to multiple sources. The Red Devils are gathering information on the player’s availability and contractual situation as they line up their next major target following a flurry of attacking signings.

 

Baleba, just 21, has emerged as one of the most promising young midfielders in the Premier League since joining Brighton. His blend of physicality, energy, and technical quality makes him an ideal fit for United’s evolving midfield under the INEOS-led structure. However, Brighton are reluctant to sell and have placed a sky-high valuation on the player, understood to be in excess of €100 million. The Seagulls see Baleba as untouchable unless a truly exceptional offer arrives.

 

With the arrivals of Benjamin Šeško, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha reportedly close to completion or already secured, United are now shifting focus to midfield reinforcements. The club recognizes the need for fresh legs and dynamism in the engine room, particularly with the futures of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen uncertain.

 

Sources close to the club suggest that while the Baleba deal is seen as “very difficult” this summer, United are not ruling anything out. Their strategy remains aggressive but measured — gathering intel before making decisive moves.

 

INEOS believe Baleba could become a long-term pillar in midfield, and although Brighton are playing hardball, the player’s potential appeal to United’s project could prove influential if discussions progress.

 

The situation is developing rapidly, and while there’s no formal bid yet, the interest is very real. United fans will be watching closely as the club looks to take the next step in their summer rebuild. ⏳🔥
