Manchester United are preparing an opening bid for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba, senior reporter Fabrizio Romano has revealed.
The Old Trafford side are in active talks regarding the 21-year-old Cameroonian and are set to approach Brighton with an official proposal in the final two weeks of the summer transfer window.
A deal to bring Baleba to Manchester remains difficult – Brighton are aiming to keep the 'exceptional' midfielder for another season, with a sale more plausible in the summer of 2026.
