Manchester United keen on signing Cameroonian youngster Carlos Baleba

Premier League giants Manchester United are keen on securing the signature of Cameroon youngster Carlos Baleba in the current transfer window.

The Red Devils are executing an aggressive effort to bolster their squad for the soon to start 2025/26 football campaign, with Baleba, who plies his trade for fellow Premier League club Brighton and Hove Albion emerging as a priority target.

Manchester United have already made three headline-grabbing signings, bringing in Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko.

Despite the arrival of these players, the Red Devils remains active in the transfer market as the club pushes for the signing of Baleba.

The Premier League giants remains in contact with the agents of the 21-year-old Cameroonian, but the Seagulls have no intention of sanctioning a move this summer.

Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim is a huge admirer of the Cameroonian international and is said to be personally pushing for the transfer, viewing Baleba as a perfect fit for the heart of midfield and holding his abilities in high regard.

To recap, the Cameroonian has been with Brighton since August 2023, when he was signed from Lille for €27 million. In the last campaign, he made 40 appearances, scored 4 goals, and provided 2 assists.
