Brighton Coach Comments on Baleba’s Future…
Brighton coach Fabian Hurzeler has weighed in on the transfer buzz as Manchester United eyes Carlos Baleba. The Red Devils, who’ve accumulated players like a kid with too many action figures, might want to add yet another midfielder before the transfer window slams shut. United seems poised to make their move, considering Baleba could cause a selling frenzy next summer; at this point, he’s more in demand than the last donut in an office break room! Having dazzled in the Europa League, a Baleba move might cost over £100m, a hefty price that beats pocket change anytime.
Brighton is known for their shrewd player business, having sold Moises Caicedo to Chelsea for £115m after buying him for just £4.5m. Coach Hurzeler remains unfazed about player departures, comparing Brighton to a magician who loses his rabbit but somehow pulls out a hat full of gold bricks. He praises Brighton’s knack for replacement and hints that they don’t mind keeping stars, like Kaoru Mitoma, despite big offers. With this mindset, convincing Baleba to budge might be tougher than getting a cat to play fetch. Brighton’s stance could hamper United’s hopes of sealing the deal this summer.
