‘He likes the move’: Whitwell’s latest admission over ‘wonderful’

It stays to be seen if Manchester United will materialise their interest in Carlos Baleba before completion of the window, but one thing’s for sure: he ‘d green-light the move in the event a deal was made.The concerns from the Red Devils ‘viewpoint, however, are that Brighton and Hove Albion are not only unwilling to sell the midfield starlet, however also that they ‘d require upwards of ₤ 100 million if they are cornered into facilitating his sale.Additionally, Baleba is

not likely to hand in a transfer demand or demand a summertime sale– specifically provided he’s just 2 years into his five-year deal at the Amex.(Image by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images )That hasn’t stopped United from touching base and evaluating the

feasibility of a contract being reached, though.Manchester City are also thought to be admirers of the ‘wonderful ‘Cameroonian global however, luckily for United, it does not look as though Pep Guardiola will be pursuing a move this month– even in the consequences of Rodri’s injury problem, which is set to keep him sidelined up until after the September worldwide break.While the Old Trafford loyal wait to see whether there will be anymore arrivals in M16 in the coming weeks, The Athletic’s Laurie Whitwell has offered some insight into the side’s stance on Baleba.He told the Talk of the Devils podcast panel: “Talks are continuing. There are intermediaries on behalf of United and the player too, to see if Brighton would be open to a deal. Brighton are stating he’s not for sale and there is quite a bit of scepticism at Manchester United about whether this can be attained. “Still, it has not absolutely been closed down. This leads me to think that you never understand, but I’m in the camp of it being not likely. There are methods this can be sorted; a critical point is

the player, and he’s keen on the transfer to Old Trafford.” More Stories/ Latest News
