British media teamtalk reported that Manchester United is preparing to sign Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba at all costs, even if it means exceeding the budget. The
team is actively promoting the transfer and has prepared a preliminary offer for Baleba. This week's discussions gave Manchester United a clearer understanding of the required fees, with Baleba's transfer fee reportedly exceeding £100 million.
Although it is generally believed that it is necessary to raise funds by selling players, there are voices that they have the ability to sign Baleba directly. Senior executives realize that the transfer will be beyond budget, but they are increasingly inclined to act first and then deal with financial issues. This impulse stems mainly from recognition of Baleba's potential and its interest in transfers.
recruitment team believes that Baleba has a unique quality combination that can enhance midfield strength and bring long-term value. This is a key reason why Manchester United is willing to consider how to achieve this transfer. Sources said the plan is serious and the momentum is growing, and it may even move to the next phase of contact by the weekend. Early action can be decisive, especially given that Brighton has always been known for his tough negotiations.
Brighton is expected to show a firm attitude. Their approach to handling Kesedo's transfer to Chelsea remains the club's reference point, so it is expected that they will again fight for the highest transfer fee. This could lead to a tough negotiation, and United needs to weigh the transaction costs versus the urgency of ensuring top goals.
Manchester United knows they have a chance to sell players to comply with financial regulations. There are still weeks left in this transfer window, especially Garnacho looks likely to be sold. According to The Athletic, they have the opportunity to sell players until June 30, 2026 to meet the financial regulations for the 2025/26 season. In addition, Manchester United is facing pressure on time, as Baleba may have more suitors after this summer, and the report notes that the competition will be "very intense", prompting Manchester United to start studying the details of the deal now.
In addition, Manchester United forward Hoylen is considered a target for Newcastle, who is currently working to find the right forward. Hoylen was told he could leave Old Trafford this summer, but he hopes to stay for a spot.
At the same time, Manchester United allegedly had a practical opportunity to sign Donaluma, and Paris Saint-Germain was willing to let him leave the team. Sources revealed that Manchester United could lower the asking price for Garnacho and give Chelsea a good deal.
