Carlos Baleba, the 21-year-old defensive midfielder from Cameroon, is currently the subject of transfer talks between his current club, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Manchester United.
Baleba has been a standout performer for Brighton this season, appearing in 34 matches, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist.
Manchester United, currently 15th in the Premier League with 42 points, are reportedly interested in acquiring the young talent. Baleba’s market value stands at around €40.00m, which equates to approximately 298 million DKK, accounting for slight market variance.
Despite the disparity in league positions between the two clubs, a move to Manchester United would certainly be a step up in terms of club stature for Baleba. With the transfer window closing on August 31, there is still time for the clubs to negotiate a deal. However, should a transfer not materialise this window, Baleba’s contract with Brighton does not expire until June 30, 2028, leaving plenty of time for future negotiations.
