Brighton boss makes Carlos Baleba-Man Utd transfer admission after taking him off at half-time vs Spurs.
The ripples of the transfer window are still being felt, and Brighton won’t be thanking Man Utd for the one they are feeling about Carlos Baleba.
Man Utd might not have succeeded in getting Carlos Baleba from Brighton in the summer transfer window, but they made no effort to keep their interest a secret.
In many ways, it was a declaration of interest to stay first in the queue next summer when Brighton will be more open to doing business.
However, while next summer is quite far away, the repercussions of United’s actions are being felt at Brighton, and it happened again recently to prompt manager Fabian Hurzeler into action.
Fabian Hurzeler makes Carlos Baleba to Man Utd admission
For Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler, the noise around Baleba’s potential move to Old Trafford is something he could have done without.
Hurzeler has addressed it multiple times, including once in the transfer window to put an end to the saga.
The saga might have ended in Brighton and Hurzeler’s mind, but it clearly hasn’t for Baleba, who has been affected by it.
Baleba has had a poor start to the season, and the latest nadir was reached in Brighton’s recent game against Spurs, where he was taken off at half-time in the 2-2 draw.
