Manchester United have baulked at Carlos Baleba’s price-tag and have identified Crystal Palace star Carlos Baleba as a potential alternative.

Manchester United have been chasing Carlos Baleba, but so far, they have not made any progress. Looking to strengthen their midfield, the Red Devils had placed Carlos Baleba at the top of their list.

Brighton are keen to keep hold of Baleba, who is under contract until 2028 with the option of a further 12 months, and warned United it would take a fee around the £115 million ($156 million) Chelsea paid to sign Moisés Caicedo two years ago to get a deal for Baleba over the line.
