Manchester United Continues to Eye Brighton’s Carlos Baleba for Midfield Overhaul

Ongoing Interest in Baleba

Reports suggest that Manchester United has not ceased discussions regarding a potential transfer for Brighton’s promising midfielder, Carlos Baleba, in light of their plans for a midfield renovation.

Previous Attempts and Price Hurdles

The squad managed by Ruben Amorim had their sights set on acquiring the 21-year-old Baleba during the summer transfer window. However, they were deterred by Brighton’s hefty asking price, which exceeded £100 million.

United’s Ongoing Pursuit

As per noted journalist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United is still keen on bringing Baleba into their ranks as they look to reshape their midfield options. The club has reportedly maintained internal conversations about him.

Additional Targets in Midfield

In addition to Baleba, United has identified other potential midfield targets, including Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson, both of whom are held in high regard by the club.

Competition for Baleba’s Signature

Looking ahead to next summer, it appears United may face competition for Baleba’s signature, as Bayern Munich is also reportedly interested in the dynamic midfielder.
