Brighton has placed an asking price of €120 million ($139.4m) on midfielder Carlos Baleba, who has garnered interest from Manchester United and Manchester City. Pep Guardiola and Ruben Amorim admire the 21-year-old player. Manchester United has not yet contacted Brighton, and pursuing Baleba could become complicated if they secure a deal for Benjamin Sesko. Baleba is presently content at Brighton and seems likely to remain for another year. He played 34 matches last season, scoring three goals, and if he transfers, Lille would receive 20% of any fee exceeding the €30 million Brighton paid for him in 2023.
Brighton have set an asking price of €120 million ($139.4m) for clubs wanting to pursue a deal for Carlos Baleba, attracting interest from Manchester United and Manchester City.
Baleba has emerged as a key player under head coach Fabian Hürzeler after adjusting to life in the Premier League, making 34 appearances and scoring three goals last season.
Sources have told that Baleba is happy to stay at the Amex this summer, with a move considered more likely in a year's time.
Should Baleba leave the club in a lucrative transfer, he would become the latest in a long line of Brighton players who have been subject to big-money moves to other Premier League clubs.
