ESPN: Brighton asks Baleba for 120 million euros, and the players attract interest from Manchester United and Manchester City

August 8, according to sources, Brighton set a 120 million euro asking price for Baleba.

report pointed out that Baleba has aroused interest from Manchester United and Manchester City, and the coaches of both teams appreciated the midfield.

Sources pointed out that Manchester United has not yet reached contact with Brighton about Baleba and any deal will become difficult if they complete the transfer of Cesco. According to previous reports, Manchester United has finalized Sesco with a transfer fee of about 85 million euros, including floating terms. However, if Manchester United can sell redundant staff like Garnacho, it is possible to sign a midfielder.

sources said Barelbar is happy to stay in Brighton this summer, and the transfer is more likely to happen a year later. Baleba has become a key member of Hulzeler's team. Last season, he represented Brighton in 34 Premier League games, contributing 3 goals and 1 assist.

Brighton signed Baleba from Lille for a transfer fee of 30 million euros in 2023. If the player's future transfer fee exceeds this amount, Lille will receive a 20% share.
