Brighton stands firm on Baleba decision…
Carlos Baleba’s reputation is flying high and attracting Manchester United like a moth to a flame. Ruben Amorim is keen to beef up his midfield options with Baleba firmly in his crosshairs. Last season, Baleba was busier than a waffle house on Sunday morning, featuring 34 times for Brighton. His stellar plays helped the Seagulls flap their wings triumphantly over United, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool. As interest swirls from Europe with more enthusiasm than a kid in a candy store, chatter about Baleba’s potential transfer to United is growing louder.
According to Fabrizio Romano, United is itching to start fresh talks about Baleba just like a toddler itching for a shiny new toy. They believe the midfielder already imagines himself in red, with personal terms being as complicated as tying your shoes. But Brighton bosses must be chilling on a hammock, utterly relaxed and determined to bat away any suitors. Reports suggest Brighton turned down a cheeky player-plus-cash offer from United, including Toby Collyer—because they won’t consider a sale until the bid exceeds even what Chelsea splurged on Moises Caicedo. Baleba’s future remains a hot topic, sizzling more than a summer barbecue!
