BREAKING NEWS ‼️ Manchester United AGREE £80m + £15m deal for Carlos Baleba – Fabrizio Romano confirms.
The transfer window has exploded into life once again, and this time it is Manchester United making the headlines. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Red Devils have reached a full agreement with Lille for the signing of highly-rated midfielder Carlos Baleba in a package worth £80 million plus £15 million in add-ons.
This deal marks a monumental moment in United’s summer business, as Baleba was one of the most sought-after young midfielders in Europe. Only 20 years of age, the Cameroonian talent has already earned comparisons with some of the best box-to-box midfielders in the game, admired for his energy, vision, and ability to dominate the center of the pitch.
But this transfer has not come without its twists. United’s chase of Baleba has been nothing short of a high-class drama — weeks of tense negotiations, contradictory reports, and whispers of rival interest from other European giants. At times, it appeared as though the deal might collapse under the weight of financial wrangling, but United’s persistence has finally forced a breakthrough.
The agreed deal makes Baleba one of the most expensive midfield signings in Premier League history. The question now hangs over Old Trafford like a cloud: will this be remembered as a masterstroke, or as another costly gamble?
United fans, desperate for fresh energy and stability in midfield, will be hoping Baleba provides the spark needed to transform Ruben Amorim’s new era. His arrival comes at a time when the club is pushing to rebuild, restore pride, and close the gap on rivals who have pulled ahead in recent years.
As Romano confirms, personal terms are not expected to be an issue, and Baleba is ready to commit long-term to Manchester United. The final stages now depend on medicals and official paperwork, but the deal is essentially done.
The Premier League transfer window is unveiling yet another blockbuster story — and this one could shape Manchester United’s future for the next decade.
