Man United Close in on Deal to Sign Carlos Baleba
- According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, Manchester United are "closing in" on signing Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba as their third central midfield addition following Casemiro's departure.
- United submitted an initial bid of £60million plus £5million in add-ons for the 22-year-old Cameroonian international; while Brighton remains reluctant to sell, discussions remain "amicable."
- Since arriving from Lille in 2023, Baleba has made 112 appearances in all competitions for Brighton and has been on United's radar for over a year.
- Currently sidelined with an ankle problem sustained in pre-season, Baleba's last competitive appearance for Brighton came in a 3-0 defeat to United in late May.
- United shifted focus to Baleba after a proposed deal for Atalanta midfielder Ederson collapsed last month, following earlier signings of Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa.
