Fabrizio Romano: Manchester United Take 'Important' Step Towards Baleba Transfer as 'Official Bid' Made

Manchester United and Brighton engage in ongoing transfer talks with reported fees between £96 million and £112 million amid uncertainty over an official agreement, sources say.

  • Despite a knee injury, the 21-year-old midfielder from Brighton & Hove Albion remains a possible starter for the club’s Premier League opener against Fulham.
  • Manchester United continues showing transfer interest in Baleba this summer but faces challenges meeting Brighton’s valuation, which exceeds £100 million.
  • Talks have started between the clubs, but United remain unaware of Brighton's exact asking price and are effectively 'bidding blind' for the midfielder.
  • Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler said he is "very, very confident" Baleba will remain this season, noting the player is "in a really good place" with the team.
  • While United have not abandoned signing Baleba, sources suggest a deal is unlikely this window and that they may reconsider pursuing him in the future.
