• Liverpool are monitoring Baleba, and he was reported to have visited Anfield after an earlier visit to Old Trafford.
• Tottenham have entered the race and made contact about a potential deal, according to Sports Boom reporting carried by OneFootball.
• Brighton’s model and reported valuation near £100 million make a mid-season sale unlikely, despite ongoing interest from several clubs.
