Manchester United Optimistic About Signing Brighton Midfielder Carlos Baleba

Confidence in Securing the Deal

Reports suggest that Manchester United is growing more assured about acquiring Brighton’s midfielder Carlos Baleba.

Previous Interest and Current Plans

The 20-time league champions had eyes on Baleba, 22, during the summer transfer window of 2025. However, their pursuit was hindered by Brighton’s hefty price tag, which exceeded £100 million.

Shift in Strategy

As per news from The Sun, Manchester United is now increasingly hopeful of finalizing the transfer this summer as they embark on a significant transformation. The club is recognized for being ready to invest significantly to revamp their underperforming midfield and is maintaining its focus on Baleba’s acquisition.

Additional Transfer Targets

Aside from Baleba, reports indicate that Manchester United has shown interest in Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton and Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson as part of their summer strategy.
