Manchester United plans to sign Baleba for 150 million next year, La Jue wants to break the transfer fee record! The two may be sold to raise money

This summer, Manchester United chose to spend £230 million to strengthen the offensive line and bought a new goalkeeper, but the midfield strength still seems to be lacking. Ruben Amorin had hoped to sign 21-year-old Cameroonian iron waist Carlos Baleba of Brighton, who meets his requirements for midfielders to be athletic.

However, Brighton's asking price led to a direct end to the negotiations, and Manchester United had tried to introduce another midfielder by the deadline, but it was unsuccessful. Players they have approached include Morten Jurmander of Portugal Sports, Gallagher of Atletico Madrid and Angelo Stile of Stotgart. Jurmander and Stile decided to stay with the team, while Atletico refused to rent out Gallagher.

The Red Devils finally decided not to sign anyone. Italian transfer expert Fabricio Romano said owner Sir Jim Ratcliff has decided to accumulate funds to have a chance to sign Baleba from Brighton next year. "I'm not surprised that Manchester United decided not to introduce other midfielders," said Romano. "I'm not surprised because I think Manchester United will remain interested in Baleba in 2026."

The possibility of Manchester United signing Baleba in the winter transfer window in January next year is not high, and the time may be next summer window. Spain's "Fichajes Transfer Network" said that by then La Jue is ready to break the British transfer fee record and sign Baleba. It reported that the bid for Baleba failed in August and did not let Manchester United give up. They were determined to try again a year later and were preparing 150 million euros (130 million pounds) of funds for the offer.

"This figure reflects the importance the club attaches to the Cameroonian player, believing that he is expected to become one of the best midfielders in the Premier League in the next few years." The report wrote, "This 150 million euro investment is not only aimed at signing a player that can meet the current and future needs of the team, but also sends a clear message to other teams in the league: Manchester United is willing to invest huge sums of money to return to the top."

Liverpool recently broke the transfer fee record and signed Alexander Isack from Newcastle United for £125 million (144 million euros). Brighton has always been open to the record-breaking sale of players. Baleba will be just the latest in a series of similar deals they have approved in the past. Before Isaac, the highest transfer fee in the UK was the £115 million when the "Seagulls" sold midfielder Moises Kessedo to Chelsea.

Manchester United's history has never bought people with a transfer fee of more than 100 million pounds. The highest priced Anthony and Pogba are only at 100 million euros. However, if La Jue wants to raise funds, two existing midfielders can be sold, which will be enough to raise cash close to the transfer fee required by Baleba.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandez has rejected invitations from many Saudi professional league teams this year, but the 30-year-old Portuguese Ironman will leave if the club makes it clear that he is going to sell him. If you do this next year, B fee is expected to bring the club a transfer fee of £60 to 70 million.

At the same time, La Jue refused to transfer the 20-year-old youth training new star Kobe Meno this summer. However, if the English midfielder does not renew his contract, the club will only be sold next year, and he may be worth 50 to 60 million pounds. If Manchester United sells B Fee and Meno, Baleba's transfer fee will not constitute a problem.

Not only that, 33-year-old veteran Casemiro will leave the team after his contract, and will also vacate the club's funding space of 350,000 pounds per week. Coupled with the B-fee's weekly salary of 300,000 pounds per week, Manchester United saves a total of more than 32.5 million pounds per year. It is predicted that Manchester United may not only introduce one new midfielder next summer, but also two or more, such as Adam Walton of Balebaga Crystal Palace, which fans are looking forward to, just like buying a new forward trident this summer.
