Carlos Baleba’s Potential Move to Man United…
Manchester United might just break the bank with a jaw-dropping £112 million for Carlos Baleba. Sources reveal that Ruben Amorim’s crew is desperate for a star midfielder, and the Brighton sensation is leading their wishlist. Like a kid eyeing candy, United reportedly pinged Brighton to chat about Baleba, even though his contract still has three years ticking at the Amex. Despite Brighton’s reluctance to part ways with him just yet, whispers from Foot Mercato’s Nabil Djellit claim that Baleba could soon dance into history as the priciest African player ever, outshining Nicolas Pepe’s move that was costlier than a triple-scoop ice cream on a hot day.
If the Reds do splash out for Baleba, his record-breaking transfer would overshadow Paul Pogba’s blockbuster price tag. Finding himself in the top Premier League transfer deals, he’d be just behind Moises Caicedo and Florian Wirtz. Brighton’s head coach, Fabian Hurzeler, isn’t quaking in his boots about the rumors. He calmly stated in a podcast that nothing ruffles his feathers unless it’s a gale-force wind. Meanwhile, Brighton’s chief executive Paul Barber mentioned in a fan forum that Manchester United hasn’t dialed his number, and as far as he’s concerned, Baleba is firmly on Brighton’s roster—for now, at least!
