Manchester United has not abandoned the ambition to own Carlos Baleba, despite the loss of midfielder Brighton in the summer transfer window last summer.
Man United still keep plans to recruit Carlos BaleBa
Before the market closed on September 1, Ruben Amorim aggressively tried to reinforce the middle line of the “Red Devils”. Among a series of names targeted, Carlos BaleBa is considered the number one goal. But Brighton resolutely kept the 21 -year -old star, even asserting that he was not for sale.

Despite the failure of the first approach, Man United has not given up. As revealed by the transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Old Trafford team planned to continue to follow BaleBa and put him on the priority target list until 2026. In the summer of the following year, Man United will face the replacement problem of Casemiro. In addition, Bruno Fernandes also considered moving to Saudi Arabia after this season.
The problem is that Brighton will only release if you receive a huge fee. Some sources believe that the “seabird” wants the number to be equal to the Moicedo deal to Chelsea for £ 115 million by 2023.
Since leaving Lille to dock in the Premier League in 2023, BaleBa quickly asserted itself as one of the most potential young midfielders in the tournament. He played 64 matches for Brighton, scoring 3 goals and 7 caps wearing the Cameroon team.
Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim and Man United will have to prepare for the fiery derby with Man City on September 14. A day earlier, BaleBa was expected to continue to play a pillar as Brighton marched to Bournemouth yard sublimated.
