Manchester United is finalizing a transfer for Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Carlos Baleba valued between £60 million and £65 million. New negotiations are currently underway to reach a definitive agreement.

Baleba represents the final component of manager Michael Carrick’s midfield reconstruction for the 2026-27 season. The Cameroonian international joins fellow new signings Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos to anchor the revamped squad.

This investment aligns with the club's long-term infrastructure strategy, which includes plans for a new 100,000-seat stadium. United aims to integrate Baleba ahead of their Premier League season opener against Hull City.
