According to the Independent, Manchester United is actively striving to sign Brighton midfielder Baleba this summer, considering a quotation of 80 million pounds + floating.
Independent said that Manchester United is actively striving to sign Baleba in this transfer window, as Amorin vigorously promotes a midfielder to accelerate the team's reconstruction. It is reported that Brighton's price for Baleba is about 120 million pounds, and Manchester United executives are studying how to develop a payment plan, one of which is a down payment of 80 million pounds, and the rest is paid through additional terms. Although some people have proposed a plan to send Sancho, Brighton is unlikely to accept it.
Amorin insists on introducing a midfielder, and Baleba is regarded as the player who best meets the needs of the team. Another thing that attracts is that he not only possesses the characteristics that Manchester United needs now, but also has great potential. If the club can’t get him this summer, they will almost certainly try again next year.
Manchester United's preferred alternative Adam Walton may be a similar situation. If Baleba is not available, they may try to introduce Walton, but also have a long-term interest in getting the two partners. However, Walton's price is expected to be higher this summer, and Crystal Palace is reluctant to make the deal because Guy and Eze may leave the team.
Manchester United also paid attention to Portland's Jurmander, but there is a question of whether his physical fitness is sufficient to meet the position they want, and the club also favors Atlanta's Ederson, although his position varies. Baleba himself is very eager to transfer.
