Manchester United have reportedly held talks with Carlos Baleba’s representatives in London today as they continue their push for the Brighton midfielder

Manchester United have reportedly made contact with Carlos Baleba’s representatives in London as they continue their efforts to bring the Brighton midfielder to Old Trafford.

United are understood to be working on a fresh proposal for the highly-rated midfielder, with the latest offer potentially coming in considerably below the amounts discussed during previous approaches last summer and earlier in the current transfer window.

Baleba is reportedly open to the move and prepared to push for a transfer if United can reach an agreement with Brighton. His willingness to join could prove important as negotiations develop.

Manchester United remain determined to strengthen their midfield, and talks surrounding Baleba could now take another significant step forward as both clubs explore whether a deal can be reached.
