Man United agree £70m deal for Brighton's Baleba

Manchester United

Manchester United have agreed a deal with Brighton for midfielder Carlos Baleba for an initial fee of £65 million with another £5 million due in potential add-ons.

Baleba, 22, will undergo a medical with United on Saturday. He is currently sidelined with an ankle injury that is not thought to be a major problem.

Baleba will be the third midfielder to join United this summer after deals for Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans. He has made 92 Premier League appearances in three years for Brighton after signing from Lille in 2023.

United were quoted a price of more than £100 million to sign Baleba last summer. CEO Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox walked away from talks 12 months ago over concerns that Brighton were demanding a fee more than the £115 million agreed with Chelsea for Moisés Caicedo in 2023.
