Brighton’s Baleba stays amid United whispers…
Carlos Baleba has landed himself a starting spot in Brighton’s lineup for the Premier League’s curtain-raiser against Fulham, amid swirling rumors linking him to Manchester United. The talented 21-year-old played nearly every game last season, and now Brighton’s dreaming of repeating their Moises Caicedo-to-Chelsea-style jackpot, valuing Baleba at a minimum of £100m. That’s equivalent to a lifetime supply of hot dogs at Old Trafford! Meanwhile, United fans might have to wait another year to see the dynamic duo of Baleba and Barber – Baleba doing the dribbling and the barber doing his famous two-week style change!
Baleba, who sat out three pre-season games due to injury, is back in action, set to partner with Yasin Ayari in the midfield for Saturday’s match. It’s as if Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler trusts Baleba’s recovery more than his favorite lucky socks! When asked about Baleba’s transfer possibilities, Hurzeler cheerfully noted, “He’s only been changing his hair, not his jersey.” It seems the midfielder is just focused on playing, posting a picture of himself at practice. So, for now, he’s kicking goals for Brighton and giving stylists nightmares with his hairdo choices!
