Brighton Sets Price for Carlos Baleba: Transfer Rumors?

Brighton has set a price of 120 million euros (approximately $139.4 million) for clubs interested in signing Carlos Baleba, according to sources close to the club. The Cameroonian midfielder has sparked the interest of teams like Manchester United and Manchester City. Pep Guardiola, City’s coach, has long been an admirer of Baleba. In addition, Rúben Amorim has also shown interest in the 21-year-old player. Although Manchester United has not contacted Brighton, a possible signing of Benjamin Sesko could complicate any deal for Baleba. United are close to closing a deal for the RB Leipzig striker, for a figure close to 85 million euros, including variables. The arrival of a midfielder at United could depend on the departure of players considered expendable by Amorim, such as Alejandro Garnacho. Baleba would be happy to stay at the Amex this summer, and a transfer would be more likely in a year.
