Carlos Baleba remains firmly in Brighton's plans. Head coach Fabian Hürzeler stated on Friday, August 15, 2025, that the player will not be leaving the club, despite approaches from Manchester United.

Carlos Baleba has caught the attention of Manchester United, who are considering making an offer to sign him. However, the Cameroonian midfielder, under contract with Brighton, remains a priority for his manager. Fabian Hürzeler expressed his confidence about the player's continued presence in the squad, despite persistent rumors linking him with a move to Old Trafford.

"I am very, very confident that Baleba will stay with us. I haven't seen any change; he has only changed his hairstyle! He enjoys being a Brighton player," said Fabian Hürzeler.

The Manchester club is exploring several options to strengthen its midfield, and Baleba is among the profiles targeted. But Brighton's management is not yet ready to part with their 21-year-old gem. The Seagulls have set a valuation of €120 million for their Cameroonian star, aiming to ward off suitors and protect their investment after signing the midfielder from Lille.
