Man Utd agree to deal for Brighton midfielder Baleba
Reports say the 22-year-old is due to travel to Manchester this weekend to finalise a £70 million deal.
Manchester United has agreed to sign Brighton's Cameroon midfielder Carlos Baleba in a £70 million deal, according to recent reports. The 22-year-old, who made over 100 appearances for Brighton in all competitions since joining them in 2023 from Lille, is set to travel to Manchester this weekend to finalize the move. Baleba, who started only 23 of Brighton's Premier League games last season without scoring any goals, will bolster United's midfield, which has undergone significant changes since the end of last season.
United's new signings include Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos from Aston Villa and Chelsea, respectively, as they aim to replace the likes of Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte following their respective departures. The club, which finished third last term, is set to kick off their Premier League campaign against promoted Hull on Saturday.
