Man Utd Waits on Baleba Transfer…
Manchester United’s mission to nab Carlos Baleba has hit the pause button, a decision that’s as daring as skydiving without a parachute at the summer deadline’s end. While they turned their spotlight onto bolstering their attack after last season’s strikers couldn’t even score in a paper tossing competition, Brighton made it clear they wanted £100 million for Baleba. Naturally, United decided to bide their time until next year, hoping Brighton might have a change of heart by then.
Though it might seem like a letdown, Baleba is not turning into a pumpkin at midnight—he’s happily waiting, showing the patience of a saint in rush hour traffic. The Cameroon international’s keen on swapping seagulls for red devils, which is splendid news for United, planning to romance him with a beefier wallet next summer, should they qualify for Europe. Rest assured, Old Trafford faithful, because when Baleba does arrive, it might feel like getting a present wrapped in gold paper at Christmas!
