A transfer bombshell worth over €76 million! Manchester United close to signing Brighton midfielder

Manchester United are determined to finally reinforce their long-awaited holding midfield position.

Details: The Mancunians have taken concrete steps to acquire Brighton’s 22-year-old Cameroonian midfielder Carlos Baleba. According to renowned journalist David Ornstein, the English giants have sent an official offer to the Seagulls’ board worth over €70 million, plus an additional €6 million in performance-related bonuses.

At this stage, an agreement between the clubs has not yet been reached, but the Manchester United hierarchy are not backing down and are already preparing a new, improved bid to convince Brighton to part with their midfield anchor.

According to respected insider Fabrizio Romano, Carlos Baleba himself has been pushing for a move to Old Trafford since August 2025, so agreeing personal terms is not expected to be an issue.

It’s worth noting that in the 2025/26 season, the Cameroonian midfielder featured in 31 Premier League matches for Brighton. The reputable portal Transfermarkt currently values the player’s market worth at €55 million.
