Overview
- Carlos Baleba told Sky Sports the speculation did not harm him but said he felt significant pressure and is working to regain his peak level.
- Brighton head coach Fabian Hürzeler urged an end to transfer noise, with Baleba completing 90 minutes only once in the league and being withdrawn at half-time multiple times this season.
- United’s summer interest stalled at a reported £100m valuation, with new reporting indicating Brighton could now listen at around €85m (about £75m).
- Baleba remains on United’s midfield shortlist for the winter or summer window, Bayern Munich have monitored him, and some reports suggest he would prioritize a move to Old Trafford.
- Sources cited in recent coverage say Brighton staff remain confident in his importance to Hürzeler’s plans, while the Cameroon international is due to link up for the Africa Cup of Nations this month.
