Man United’s Interest in Brighton’s Baleba…
It looks like Roy Keane’s crystal ball for predicting talent is overdue for an upgrade; he spotted Carlos Baleba’s shining performance long before Manchester United decided they wanted his signature. The Red Devils are ramping up interest in the Brighton star, who has been making waves while filling Moises Caicedo’s boots. Imagine trying to fill shoes so big they could double as rugby fields! The Cameroonian sensation has been quietly cementing his place in Brighton’s midfield, earning praise from Keane who seemed as impressed with Brighton’s recruiting skills as a kid in a candy store.
However, United’s attempts to whisk Baleba away might meet with resistance as fierce as a cat guarding its favorite sunspot. Brighton is renowned for negotiating deals as smooth as a hedgehog in a tutu, having squeezed out sizeable fees for stars such as Marc Cucurella and Ben White. Though Baleba’s contract tick-tocks for another three years, and United faces budget constraints, they’ve marked him as a top target. It’s an anticipation-filled showdown where Brighton could ask a mountain of £100m to let go of their hidden gem to the eager Red Devils.
