Brighton Set Fresh Asking Price for Carlos Baleba
Baleba to Intervene as United and Brighton Hit Standoff Over £100M Valuation
A potential blockbuster transfer is heating up as sources indicate a significant gap in valuation for Brighton’s highly-rated midfielder, Carlos Baleba. According to reports from @indykaila, Brighton are holding out for a massive £90 million plus £10 million in add-ons, putting the total potential fee at £100 million.
This figure stands in stark contrast to Manchester United’s valuation, which is currently believed to be around £70 million.
The £20 million discrepancy in the base fee represents a major hurdle in negotiations between the two clubs.
In a dramatic turn of events, the report suggests that Baleba himself is preparing to step into the fray.
The young Cameroonian is reportedly ready to ask Brighton to lower their asking price in an effort to facilitate a move to Old Trafford.
This is a clear indication of Baleba’s desire to join United and work under new manager Ruben Amorim, who reportedly sees him as the “perfect” player for his midfield.
