Carlos Baleba, the promising defensive midfielder from Cameroon, is currently under the watchful eye of top Premier League clubs, notably Manchester United. The Red Devils are persistently pursuing Baleba, who is said to be a key target for their midfield reinforcement plans. Reports from Sun Sport indicate that fellow Cameroonian international Bryan Mbeumo, who has played alongside Baleba for the Indomitable Lions, has been actively encouraging the Brighton player to consider a move to Manchester United.
At just 21 years old, Baleba has made nine appearances across all competitions for Brighton this season, racking up 432 minutes on the pitch. He is under contract with the Seagulls until June 2028, and his market value is estimated at around €60 million, according to Transfermarkt. Baleba’s annual salary is approximately €756,162 (or 491,505,300 FCFA).
As Brighton prepares for their next match in the English Premier League against Newcastle, the team looks to build momentum. According to betting agency 1xbet, the odds for the upcoming match are as follows: Brighton to win at 2.20, a draw at 3.30, and Newcastle to win at 2.60.
Given the increasing attention on Baleba, his potential transfer could be a significant development in the ongoing transfer saga, highlighting the growing recognition of talent from the Cameroonian league in Europe. With the support of teammates like Mbeumo, Baleba may find himself in a favorable position to make a move that could escalate his burgeoning career.
