Manchester United Close to Signing Baliba

Reliable journalist David Ornstein has revealed that Manchester United is nearing an agreement to sign Carlos Baleba, the Brighton midfielder, during the current transfer window.

According to Ornstein, Manchester United has made a bid of approximately £60 million, plus £5 million in add-ons and incentives, to sign the 22-year-old Cameroonian midfielder.

Despite the offer still being below Brighton's financial valuation for Baleba, negotiations among all parties are proceeding amicably, with efforts continuing to reach a final agreement in the near future.

Manchester United is placing Baleba among their top priorities to bolster the team's midfield, as the club aims to finalize the deal and reach an agreement that satisfies both Brighton and the player.

The young player is currently recovering from an injury he sustained during team training on August 6, affecting his ankle ligaments.
