According to sources, midfielder Carlos Baleba has aroused the interest of teams such as Manchester United and Manchester City.\n\nThe Brighton has set a price of 120 million euros for the Cameroonian international, who joined the club in 2023 from Lille. Baleba was a key player last season, where Brighton finished in eighth position in the Premier League.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>No, I don&#8217;t feel fear. I fear nothing because the only thing we can do is be the best version of ourselves every day, work as hard as we can.<\/p><cite>Fabian H\u00fcrzeler<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nWhen asked about the possible loss of his best players, H\u00fcrzeler stated: &#8220;I feel no fear.&#8221; The coach emphasized the importance of the team&#8217;s unity, acknowledging that, although they cannot compete in spending with the big teams, cohesion is one of their greatest values.\n\nThe Brighton have made some additions in this market, including Charalampos Kostoulas, Maxim De Cuyper, Italian international Diego Coppola and Tom Watson. Baleba, who missed the last pre-season friendly due to a knee injury, is on track to play in the first Premier League match against Fulham on August 16.\n\nH\u00fcrzeler commented that the club always finds solutions and that they are prepared for the future. He recalled that Brighton has sold players for large sums in recent seasons, such as Mois\u00e9s Caicedo, Jo\u00e3o Pedro, and Marc Cucurella.\n\nThe coach also highlighted that the club has shown that it doesn&#8217;t always sell its star players, rejecting significant offers for other players like Kaoru Mitoma.\n\nH\u00fcrzeler concluded by highlighting the importance of team unity and the existing chemistry to compete with the bigger teams, even those with superior individualities.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0812%2Fr1530728_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Brighton&#039;s Carlos Baleba has been linked with a move away from the Amex this summer.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>H\u00fcrzeler Isn&#8217;t Afraid of Offers for His Stars at Brighton Brighton coach Fabian H\u00fcrzeler has expressed his confidence in the possibility of losing key players during this transfer market.
