Brighton stance on Carlos Baleba amid Manchester United interest

Brighton and Hove Albion chairman Tony Bloom does not want to sell Carlos Baleba to Manchester United in the summer transfer window, according to TBR.

Journalist Graeme Bailey has revealed that even though Man Utd are trying to get a deal done for Baleba, Brighton are firm on their stance that the 21-year-old Cameroon international midfielder is not for sale.

Bailey told TBR: “Brighton owner Tony Bloom does not want to sell this summer, and what Tony Bloom wants, more often than not, he gets his way.

“Brighton are firm in their stance on Baleba – it has not changed in recent days.

“Brighton have not planned on a Baleba sale in any way this month, and I am told that to go and get him is going to take Moises Caicedo-type money – well over £100million for Baleba.

“If United come with that sort of offer, then analytically thinking Brighton would have to consider it – every player has a price and at some point you sell – but they are not anticipating that sort of offer from United.”
