Brighton maintains a firm stance on one of the pillars of its midfield and believes that if Manchester United truly thinks they have found the solution to their structural problems, they must accept an evaluation that Albion is not willing to lower under any circumstances.

Within the Brighton circle, they anticipate that pressure will increase in the upcoming window, but the internal line is clear. Carlos Baleba is not for sale, and only an extreme scenario would force a reevaluation of a position that is currently considered non-negotiable.

Brighton defends an evaluation that allows no discounts

Brighton argues that Carlos Baleba's real value is above 100 million pounds and rejects any narrative suggesting a possible reduction. The club believes his profile is unique in the current market, with no comparable alternatives offering the same immediate impact.

The slight dip in the player's performance in some parts of the season has led certain suitors to speculate figures closer to 70 or 80 million, but Brighton has publicly and privately responded that such a scenario does not exist.

Manchester United persists and runs out of alternatives

Manchester United continues to monitor the situation closely. At Old Trafford, they believe Carlos Baleba fits precisely the profile Ruben Amorim seeks to rebuild the midfield, combining physicality, positional control, and Premier League competitive experience.

Sources close to the process acknowledge that Manchester United has struggled to identify other targets offering the same balance between immediate performance and potential for growth, strengthening Brighton's negotiating position.

Brighton's public firmness as a strategy

Recent statements by president Paul Barber were not random. The leader stated that the club has not received any calls from Manchester United and that there is no intention to sell Carlos Baleba, neither now nor in future windows.

Within Brighton, this public stance is seen as a way to gauge how far Manchester United's conviction truly extends. The message is clear: if the interest is genuine, it must translate into an offer that aligns with the set valuation.

Carlos Baleba, a key piece of the sporting project

Brighton believes Carlos Baleba represents more than just a market asset. His ability to maintain the game's pace, control vast spaces, and provide tactical balance make him a central figure in the project.

Discussions held last summer revealed how much Manchester United values the player. However, the club in southern England believes that letting him go for less than 100 million pounds would weaken their sports structure.

100 million pounds is his price tag

According to Flashscore, Brighton insists that valuation will not change, regardless of the market context or external pressure. The club believes accepting a discount would send the wrong message and disrupt their model's coherence.

Moreover, Albion trusts that the lack of genuine alternatives will compel Manchester United to make a clear decision if they want to bolster their midfield with a top-level profile.

Brighton watches as Baleba focuses on Africa

While the market stirs, Carlos Baleba remains aloof from the noise. The midfielder is currently focused with Cameroon in the Africa Cup of Nations and is set to play against South Africa.

Within Brighton, they see this international stage as reinforcing his position. The scenario remains unchanged, and the final message is firm: Brighton will not yield and will only accept an exit if Manchester United decides on a figure exceeding 100 million pounds.
