Man Utd to renew Carlos Baleba talks despite Brighton hurdles

The club believe the Brighton midfielder is open to the move, with personal terms expected to pose no obstacle.

Despite Baleba's apparent willingness, the deal is understood to be challenging due to Brighton's stance. The Seagulls are reluctant to lose the 21-year-old, who has quickly established himself as a key figure since arriving on the south coast.

Manchester United's renewed approach reflects their determination to strengthen their midfield options before the transfer window closes. Ruben Amorim is keen to add energy and physicality in the middle of the park, qualities the No.20 has shown in abundance.

Talks with Brighton will continue as United look for a breakthrough. While the negotiations are likely to be tough, the club remain hopeful they can reach an agreement in time.
