Manchester United, Brighton and Carlos Baleba
Wednesday
Manchester United are closing in on a deal for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba after submitting an offer worth around £60m plus £5m in add-ons. Talks remain active, and the Cameroon international is understood to want the move to Old Trafford.
Brighton have not yet accepted United’s proposal, but their valuation has fallen significantly from the figure above £100m quoted last summer. United view the 22-year-old as the box-to-box midfielder still missing despite adding Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans.
