Manchester United are stepping up their pursuit of Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba as the transfer window enters its final weeks. The 20-year-old remains a top target for Erik ten Hag, but Brighton’s valuation – believed to be over £100 million — is proving a major stumbling block. Talks with Baleba’s representatives have taken place, and it’s understood that personal terms would not be an issue if a fee can be agreed.
With the Baleba deal uncertain, United are also keeping tabs on Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton. The England international has impressed in the Premier League and is seen as a potential alternative in midfield, though Palace are reluctant to sell and expect him to stay this summer.

Meanwhile, speculation over Gianluigi Donnarumma’s future has intensified after the goalkeeper was left out of PSG’s squad for their latest match. The Italian star is reportedly open to a new challenge, with United among the clubs monitoring his situation.
United have already added Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, Diego Leon, Enzo Kana-Biyik and Matheus Cunha this summer, but further signings are expected — provided player departures can be secured first.
