In search of a new defensive midfielder to replace the departure of Casemiro, Manchester United are considering several alternatives in the summer transfer market.
According to reports from England, the ‘Old Trafford’ club has reactivated its interest in Carlos Baleba, the talented midfielder who plays for Brighton.
United are working to strengthen their midfield following the departure of Casemiro, who has had a significant impact in this area of the pitch.
In this context, the English club is focusing on new profiles to increase quality and stability in midfield.
Baleba, 22, is seen as one of the most promising options and is reported to be eyeing a potential move to the Red Devils.
Manchester United’s interest in the Cameroonian is not new, as the club had attempted to approach him before.
According to sources in England, a key factor could also be the player’s own desire for a new step in his career, which could influence the reduction of Brighton’s high financial demands, which are said to reach up to 100 million euros.
Baleba is tied to Brighton until June 2028, while a possible move to Manchester United would require a major financial investment from the English giant, who aim to significantly strengthen the midfield for the new season.
