🚨 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: MAN UNITED TARGET CARLOS BALEBA IN MIDFIELD TRANSFER PUSH! 🔴💣
Man United Carlos Baleba Transfer: Red Devils Target Midfielder! 🔴
Manchester United are pushing hard in the transfer market! The Red Devils have approached Carlos Baleba’s camp to explore a potential move, aiming to bolster their midfield for the 2025/26 season. 🔴 However, Brighton’s CEO Paul Barber has downplayed direct contact, emphasizing their desire to keep the 21-year-old star.
Baleba, who joined Brighton from Lille for £26 million in 2023, has become one of the Premier League’s most exciting midfielders. Last season, he made 34 league appearances, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists, showcasing his ability to dominate defensively and progress the ball with 6.3 progressive carries per 90 minutes. His physicality and tactical fit make him ideal for Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system, which demands athletic, box-to-box midfielders.
Baleba’s versatility could transform United’s midfield, with his 88% pass accuracy and 2.1 tackles per game aligning perfectly with Ruben Amorim’s high-pressing 3-4-3 system. Fans on X see him as Casemiro’s heir, but Brighton’s £80m valuation demands tough financial decisions.
Baleba’s 88% pass accuracy and 2.1 tackles per game make him a seamless fit for Amorim’s possession-based, high-pressing system, strengthening United’s midfield core.
Brighton, known for big sales like Moises Caicedo (£115m), have set a hefty £80m–£100m price tag on Baleba, with no plans to sell this summer. United’s pursuit comes after securing Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, with Benjamin Sesko’s £74m move nearing completion. Fans on X are buzzing, with some hoping Leny Yoro, Baleba’s former Lille teammate, can sway him to Old Trafford.
X fans are vocal, with some calling Baleba a “game-changer” for the Man United Baleba transfer, though others balk at Brighton’s steep valuation.
