Brighton & Hove Albion has sent a clear message to the market: Carlos Baleba will not be sold for less than 115 million euros. The 21-year-old Cameroonian midfielder has become one of the most sought-after players in the Premier League, drawing interest from two giants: Manchester United and Manchester City.

Both clubs are looking to strengthen their midfield and see the African player as a potential strategic signing, but the cost demanded by the "Seagulls" board poses a significant challenge.

According to the British outlet 'Telegraph', Manchester United made an initial move to secure his services. However, the proposal submitted fell below the club's expectations and was promptly rejected. Brighton, aware of Baleba's growth and potential, believes his market value is on par with the top young stars in Europe.

Brighton demands 115 million for Carlos Baleba

Baleba arrived at Brighton from French side Lille and quickly established himself as one of the most promising defensive midfielders on the continent. His ability to recover balls, physical prowess, and quality in ball distribution have made him an indispensable player for his team. Furthermore, his age makes him a long-term investment, which particularly entices City and United, seeking players capable of leaving their mark on their projects.

Manchester City views Baleba as an ideal profile to enhance their squad depth and ensure succession in key areas of the field. Pep Guardiola, always attentive to emerging talent, especially values the player's versatility, able to perform both as a defensive pivot and an attacking midfielder.

The major obstacle for both clubs is the price. Paying 115 million for a player with just a season and a half in the Premier League involves a considerable financial risk, although the English market trend shows that astronomical figures have become the norm. Brighton, known for demanding high fees for their talents like in the cases of Moisés Caicedo or Marc Cucurella, will not easily back down.

For United, Baleba's arrival would bolster a midfield that has shown weaknesses this season. For City, it would be a strategic move not only to strengthen their squad but also to prevent their eternal rival from securing such a caliber reinforcement.

Currently, Baleba remains focused on his season with Brighton, but he is aware that his name will resurface strongly in the next transfer window. If United or City aim to win the race, they must present a proposal approaching the demanding figure set by the "Seagulls." With his youth, talent, and potential, there is no doubt that the Cameroonian will continue to be a key figure in the transfer discussions in the Premier League 2025.
