Manchester United table bid for Carlos Baleba as midfield rebuild continues
Michael Carrick has already brought in Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos this summer
Manchester United has made a £60m bid for Brighton's Carlos Baleba in an attempt to bolster their midfield for the upcoming season. Brighton reportedly desires a higher price for the Cameroonian international, but negotiations continue. The initial offer from Old Trafford could increase by an additional £5m. This push for Baleba comes after United missed out on two other midfield signings, Mateus Fernandes and Elliot Anderson.
The 22-year-old was first targeted by United last summer, with Brighton valuing him at over £100m, a figure that has since decreased following a challenging year. United has already made two midfield acquisitions this summer - Andrey Santos from Chelsea for £48m and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa for £35m. However, they have suffered losses with Casemiro leaving and Manuel Ugarte and Mason Mount currently sidelined, missing recent pre-season friendlies.
