Ruben Amorim pushing for Man United to sign Carlos Baleba this summer
Man United could offer unwanted star as part of £120m transfer deal
- Manchester United are actively pursuing a deal for Brighton's midfielder Carlos Baleba.
- Brighton is seeking approximately £120m for the 21-year-old, with United exploring payment structures, including an initial £80m plus add-ons.
- United's manager Ruben Amorim is keen to sign a midfielder to accelerate the team's rebuild, identifying Baleba as a key target due to his profile and potential.
- Manchester United would be willing to send a player such as Jadon Sancho the other way, but it is not seen as likely that Brighton would go for that.
- Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace is considered a primary alternative, though he may prove even more costly, while Morten Hjumland and Ederson are also being monitored.
