Manchester United reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Brighton & Hove Albion on Friday, August 21, 2026, for the transfer of 22-year-old midfielder Carlos Baleba. This potential acquisition would mark the third midfield signing for United this summer. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that an agreement had been reached for the transfer of Baleba.
The terms reportedly involve a fixed fee of £65 million, which equates to approximately €76 million, supplemented by an additional £5 million, or €6 million, in bonuses. This revised structure followed the rejection of an earlier offer. If completed, Baleba would join Manchester United as the third midfielder this transfer window, following the signings of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans.
Following the verbal agreement, Baleba is expected to undergo a medical examination with Manchester United. The reported transfer valuation places the total potential cost in the region of £70 million. The move signifies a significant investment by Manchester United in strengthening their midfield depth.
The finalized agreement, if confirmed, would see the player move from Brighton & Hove Albion to the Premier League giant.
