Manchester United are close to completing a £65 million transfer for midfielder Carlos Baleba, as the club continues discussions with Brighton over the player’s potential move. The 26-year-old has been a target for United throughout the summer, with multiple bids submitted and ongoing talks. Baleba, who has been linked with the club for months, is reportedly keen on joining United and could become their fourth summer signing as manager Erik ten Hag rebuilds the squad.
Meanwhile, former United star Paul Pogba has seen his contract with Monaco terminated just one year into his return to professional football. Pogba, 33, has not commented publicly on the decision, but the move has already sparked interest from other clubs seeking his services. The termination comes after a series of injuries affected his performance and availability during his time at Monaco.
The Premier League season is set to begin soon, with United preparing for their opening match away at Hull City. The club’s focus remains on strengthening key areas of the squad, particularly in midfield, as they aim to improve on their previous campaign. Baleba’s potential arrival would add depth and experience to a squad undergoing significant changes.
