𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 ‼️: Manchester United ready player-plus-cash bid for Carlos Baleba – Amorim demands deal “at all costs.”

Manchester United’s summer transfer plans are gaining serious momentum, and the latest reports suggest Ruben Amorim has identified Brighton’s Carlos Baleba as a top priority – and he’s prepared to go all in to get his man.

According to fresh sources, Brighton have slapped a whopping price tag on the 20-year-old midfielder after his impressive Premier League campaign, with figures understood to be in excess of £50m. Rather than backing down, United are now considering a player-plus-cash proposal to drive the deal forward, potentially including fringe players to tempt the Seagulls into agreeing terms.

Baleba, known for his tireless energy, defensive discipline, and ability to break lines with precise passing, fits the exact profile Amorim is looking for to strengthen his midfield. Since arriving at Old Trafford, the new United boss has been clear about the need for a more dynamic engine room, capable of dominating possession and controlling games against the league’s toughest opponents.

Insiders claim Amorim has been “adamant” in internal meetings that Baleba is the player to anchor United’s midfield for years to come. One source even revealed: “He’s put his foot down – Baleba must be signed at all costs. Amorim believes he can build a title-winning midfield around him.”

Brighton, however, are notorious for driving a hard bargain. Their valuation reflects Baleba’s rapid rise and long-term potential, and they are under no financial pressure to sell. This means United will need to act decisively and creatively – hence the player-plus-cash approach, which could see one or two squad members heading to the Amex as part of the package.

With pre-season looming, Amorim wants the deal wrapped up as soon as possible to integrate Baleba into his tactical system. The coming weeks could define whether United land their prime midfield target – or are forced back to the drawing board.

The message is clear: Amorim wants Baleba, and Manchester United are ready to push hard.
