Given the players’ prices are too high, Manchester United have finished their pursuit of Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Carlos Valleva. Athletic.
Such a solution to this particular situation may have been expected as Brighton decided to protect Baleva, despite suggesting that the 21-year-old is eager to move to Old Trafford. The Seagulls already sell Joan Pedro, Purvis Estu Pinan, Simon Adingra and more, and draw a line there when key players are able to leave.
Being in a very strong position in this issue – there is three years left in the Baleba contract. Brighton set demand at the same high as the fees Chelsea paid to sign Moises Caiceco in 2023. United clearly aren’t going to offer anywhere near that person, so they decided to move on to other potential targets to strengthen their midfield ranks.
