Baleba may rebel to go to MU

Brighton & Hove Albion will struggle to keep hold of Carlos Baleba, as Manchester United attempt to sign the 21-year-old midfielder.

The Carlos Baleba deal, worth £100m, is one of the most notable transfer stories of the summer of 2025.

According to the Manchester Evening News , Baleba is very excited about the prospect of moving to Old Trafford. The Cameroon midfielder has not ruled out the possibility of rebelling like Alexander Isak at Newcastle to move to his dream team.

However, Brighton have set a price of up to £100 million for Baleba, a figure that Manchester United must consider. If they do not receive goodwill from Brighton at the negotiating table, the "Red Devils" are willing to delay the deal until the summer of 2026 to balance their finances, especially when they have spent heavily in the current transfer window.

However, Baleba wants to move to Old Trafford this summer, and is ready to agree personal terms with the Manchester club. Meanwhile, Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has insisted he is confident Baleba will remain at the Amex Stadium until the end of the summer transfer window, despite rumours linking him with Manchester United.

Brighton are renowned for their ability to spot and develop young talent, turning Baleba into one of the Premier League's most promising midfielders since he joined from Lille in the summer of 2023 for €23 million.

In the 2024/25 season, Baleba played 35 Premier League games, scored 2 goals and had 4 assists, while also achieving an 89% passing accuracy and winning 62% of duels, according to Sofascore . The Cameroonian midfielder's defensive ability, creativity and abundant physical strength make him a top target for Manchester United.
