Premier League
Manchester United continues with its policy of strengthening the midfield and keeps an eye on Carlos Baleba, a midfielder from Brighton who has become one of the most coveted names in the English market, as reported by Football Insider.
Despite the Cameroonian player not having the best start to the season, the "red devils" remain convinced that he can be a key piece in their project and are willing to make a million-dollar investment to secure his services.
Brighton has made it clear that they do not intend to lower their demands, and if Manchester United wants to close the deal, they will have to pay the €120 million they ask for their player. It is a very high figure, but Old Trafford's team seems willing to assume it in order to secure a player with potential and future in the Premier League.
Manchester United's Strong Bet on Carlos Baleba
Carlos Baleba, 21, arrived at Brighton from Lille and quickly caught the attention of the big clubs in England due to his physical power and ability to cover a lot of ground in midfield. Although his start to the 2025/26 season has not been as brilliant as expected, Manchester United believes that his profile fits perfectly with the team's needs.

Manchester United, still looking for the formula to truly compete in the Premier League, considers the arrival of the Cameroonian as a strategic reinforcement. With him, they would add a player capable of bringing balance to the midfield and sustaining both the defensive phase and ball distribution, an aspect that has been lacking in the team in recent months.
The operation, however, is not without risks. Investing €120 million in a player who has not fully settled in yet may raise doubts among some fans and critics. However, the sports management believes that in the medium term, he can become one of the most important pieces at the club. His age, growth potential, and already gained experience in the Premier League work in his favor.
For now, Brighton has no intention of negotiating down. They know that Manchester United is determined to close the deal and stand firm on their conditions. At Old Trafford, they consider the price high but justifiable if it helps to significantly improve the team.
In conclusion, everything indicates that Manchester United is prepared to pay what Brighton demands for Carlos Baleba. It would be one of the most expensive signings in the recent history of the club, but also a clear bet on a player who, despite current ups and downs, has all the potential to become a reference in European football.
