Manchester United are continuing to monitor Carlos Baleba at Brighton, with Fabrizio Romano revealing that a verbal agreement on personal terms struck in August 2025 remains valid heading into the summer window. The midfielder was a top United target last summer and again in January, but Brighton refused to sell on both occasions.
United are expected to strengthen their midfield significantly this summer, with Casemiro leaving and Manuel Ugarte likely to be sold. The permanent manager appointment will be key to determining the club's transfer activity, but Baleba's desire to join Old Trafford has not wavered according to Romano.
