 Manchester United Submit £65M Bid for Carlos Baleba as Transfer Talks Continue

Manchester United have reportedly submitted an official bid worth around £65 million for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba as the club continues its efforts to strengthen the squad ahead of the new season.

According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, the offer is currently not enough to convince Brighton to complete the deal, but Manchester United are expected to return to negotiations on Thursday in an attempt to reach an agreement soon.

Manchester United Push for Carlos Baleba

Baleba has emerged as a major transfer target for Manchester United, with the club looking to reinforce its midfield options. The Red Devils have now made a formal offer of around £65 million, but Brighton are yet to accept the proposal.

Despite the gap between the two clubs' valuations, there is growing optimism that negotiations could continue positively as United look to finalize the transfer.

Baleba Already Agrees Personal Terms

One significant development is that Manchester United have reportedly already reached an agreement with Carlos Baleba and his representatives over personal terms.

The midfielder is also said to be pushing strongly for the move, which could help Manchester United in their attempts to convince Brighton to lower their demands or reach a compromise on the transfer fee.

With the player's side apparently keen on the move, negotiations between the two clubs are now expected to be the key factor in determining whether the deal can be completed.

Left-Back Could Be Next After Baleba

If Manchester United succeed in signing Baleba, the club is expected to continue its recruitment plans.

A new left-back is reportedly almost guaranteed to arrive, while another striker could also be targeted if Joshua Zirkzee leaves Manchester United during the transfer window.

This suggests that United's transfer activity may not end with Baleba, with several areas of the squad still being considered for reinforcement.

Manchester United Transfer Plans

The potential arrival of Baleba would represent another major step in Manchester United's efforts to improve their midfield and build a stronger squad.

For now, the focus remains on negotiations with Brighton. United are expected to return to discussions as they attempt to bridge the difference in valuation and close a deal for the highly-rated midfielder.

Manchester United fans will now be watching closely for further developments as talks over Carlos Baleba continue.
