"At just 21 years old, Baleba has emerged as one of the most complete defensive midfielders in the Premier League. The Cameroon international excels at breaking up play, offering relentless energy, and distributing the ball effectively. Man United believe Baleba could be their midfield solution While often deployed in a disciplined role at Brighton, there's a growing belief he possesses the qualities to thrive as a box-to-box midfielder."
"With veteran Casemiro showing signs of decline and Manuel Ugarte yet to fully make his mark, Baleba is a player who could become the difference maker in their midfield and that is why he is being seriously targeted. Should negotiations stall, Man United are reportedly scouting alternatives. One such player is Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, who has also drawn interest due to his emergence in recent seasons."
Manchester United plan a 130 million bid to acquire Carlos Baleba from Brighton & Hove Albion to bolster midfield balance and resilience. Baleba, 21, is described as a complete defensive midfielder who excels at breaking up play, offering relentless energy, and distributing the ball effectively. United see potential for Baleba to develop into a box-to-box midfielder beyond his disciplined Brighton role. The club views their midfield as needing structural reinforcement with Casemiro declining and Manuel Ugarte not yet established. Alternatives such as Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton are being scouted if negotiations stall. A successful signing would signal aggressive squad-shaping under Ruben Amorim.
