Manchester United are closing in on a potentially major agreement with Brighton for Cameroon international Carlos Baleba, in what has quickly become the standout African transfer story of Wednesday morning. Sky Sports reports that the clubs are close to a full agreement for a package exceeding £60 million, with a five-year contract prepared for the midfielder. Baleba is expected to travel to Manchester for a medical once the remaining details are formally settled.
Sky Sports This represents a significant escalation from earlier interest around the 22-year-old. United have tracked Baleba since at least the previous winter window, and his combination of Premier League experience, age and international status makes the prospective transfer particularly significant for African football. The distinction remains important, however: the clubs are close, but Manchester United have not yet officially announced the signing, so ASVG Media classifies the move as advanced negotiations / medical preparation.
