Carlos Baleba is confirmed to be the subject of advanced talks between Man Utd and Brighton, who are negotiating terms ahead of a possible transfer. The midfielder has long been on the radar of Man Utd, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch. Progress on talks has been made, though a final agreement is not yet in place and other clubs are said to be weighing-up whether to join the race for his signature. Chelsea, Paris SG and Bayern Munich remain in the background, but for now, Man Utd are leading the way in ongoing talks. So far this season, Man Utd are steady at both ends (1.78 goals scored per game, 1.37 goals conceded per game). The role for Carlos Baleba would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Alongside this, Brighton are said to be exploring Cesare Casadei, Liam Delap and Patrick Wimmer with Man Utd likewise connected to Karl Darlow, Marc Cucurella and Sam Johnstone.
