Overview
- Multiple outlets, citing Sky Sport Switzerland, report Brighton would consider offers near €85m (about £74m) for Carlos Baleba in 2026 after previously quoting over £100m.
- The 21-year-old is said to prefer a move to Manchester United over Bayern Munich, according to the same reports.
- Bayern have explored Baleba as a possible option, though reporting describes internal reluctance to meet Brighton’s price.
- Manchester United view central midfield as a priority and are weighing whether to revive their pursuit in January or wait until summer.
- Baleba’s recent performances have drawn scrutiny, with 12 substitutions in 13 Premier League starts and his manager previously noting speculation may have affected him.
