Man Utd open transfer talks over ‘unrealistic’ move for Premier League star

By staff6 August 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

Manchester United are eyeing up a move for Brighton star Carlos Baleba and have contacted the Seagulls to see whether a deal can be struck this summer despite them not wanting to sell

Manchester United have made contact with Brighton as they look to land explore a deal for midfielder Carlos Baleba. The Cameroon star enjoyed a stellar year last season and the Seagulls have no plans to cash in.

The Red Devils are aware the move may be unrealistic, especially if their transfer funds to end up being spent on Benjamin Sesko, but are looking to gauge whether anything can be done in the coming weeks as Ruben Amorim seeks to further bolster his squad, reports the Athletic.

The 21-year-old has three years left on his contract at the Amex but is proving to be one of the Premier League’s best in his position as Brighton continue to find hidden gems in the market. This time though they have no plans to cash in.

Previously they’ve bought in the likes of Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister before seeing them flourish and move on for a huge profit. This is not one of those scenarios though and those on the south coast want to retain Baleba.

United’s current focus is on landing Sesko from RB Leipzig after they jumped ahead of Newcastle in the transfer race. There is an acceptance though that any move, which could cost more than £70million, will make any move for the Brighton star very difficult.

They would be reliant on a number of players leaving the club for sizeable fees. Amorim does have the likes of Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho and Antony looking for the exit door, but the trio remain at Old Trafford as things stand.

A striker is currently the priority in Manchester, given they have already bought in Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. But if they can secure a No 9 then a midfielder capable of playing in the number six role is next on their hit list and Baleba has excelled in that position.

Already this summer Brighton have allowed Joao Pedro to leave for Chelsea, banking them a hefty sum. The highly-rated Simon Adingra has also joined Sunderland for more than £20m, which means they have little need to sell, putting them in a strong position to retain Baleba.

The Brighton star previously said on all the speculation surrounding him: “If they can help me, I’ll accept that help to push forward and develop. So, I just work to help my team and for myself, to progress for the future. In return, everyone who helps me wants me to go to the highest level. And if there are big clubs who want me, it’s not something that worries me or gets me excited. I just need to work hard and keep a cool head.”
