Manchester United targets Spain: 3 options if the Baleba signing fails.

Manchester United is actively pursuing a midfielder for the upcoming season and has three possible candidates in LaLiga if they fail to sign Carlos Baleba: Mikel Jauregizar, Lucien Agoumé, and Javi Guerra.

The major issue for the Red Devils is the high price that Brighton demands to sell Baleba, who is valued at 115 million pounds, a considerable amount considering they are eyeing other signings.

Mikel Jauregizar, young talent from Athletic Club

Spanish player Mikel Jauregizar, 21 years old, is a promising talent at Athletic Club. With a contract until 2031, he played 48 matches last season under Ernesto Valverde, scoring 3 goals and providing 3 assists. His versatility in midfield and ability to cover large areas make him an attractive profile for the Premier League.

Lucien Agoumé, strength and impact from Sevilla

In Sevilla, Cameroonian with French citizenship Lucien Agoumé has gained prominence due to his physicality and ball recovery skills. With a contract until 2028, he played 37 games last season, scoring a goal and providing three assists. His experience in European competitions could be crucial to fit into Ruben Amorim's system.

Javi Guerra, the engine of Valencia

Valencian player Javi Guerra, 22 years old, is one of Valencia CF's key assets. With a contract until 2029, he participated in 38 matches last season, recording 3 goals and 3 assists. His playmaking abilities and ability to support the attack from midfield make him an offensive and versatile option to complement or rotate with Bruno Fernandes in the double pivot.

The Portuguese coach is seeking a central midfielder capable of sharing responsibilities with Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, and Casemiro. The potential departure of any of them in this market necessitates keeping several options open.

Javi Guerra, on Manchester United's radar

Manchester United has already invested over 225 million euros in attacking signings like Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko, but Amorim believes strengthening the midfield is crucial to compete for the Premier League.

In addition to the three LaLiga options, the English club is closely monitoring Angelo Stiller (Stuttgart), Morten Hjulmand (Sporting CP), and Lamine Camara (AS Monaco). There is even a possibility of signing a goalkeeper due to the coach's concerns about André Onana as a starter.

With the signing of Carlos Baleba uncertain, Manchester United is targeting three top talents from Spanish football to bolster their midfield rotation for the next Premier League season.
