MANCHESTER UNITED continue to pursue HUGE summer transfer business to improve the outlook at Old Trafford! But the Red Devils have decided that they will NOT proceed with any Carlos Baleba move

Transfer news LIVE!Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are among the clubs aiming to sign new players and make a strong start to the new Premier League season. The Gunners still have their sights on Eberechi Eze but are facing competition from bitter rivals Tottenham.

Manchester United have decided against trying to sign Baleba this summer after learning of Brighton's 'not for sale' stance during club-to-club talks for the Cameroonian. They have gone back to the drawing board and examined alternatives, which include Jauregizar, who is likely to cost significantly less.

Valencia star Javi Guerra has been strongly linked with a move to join United over recent months, even agreeing personal terms to move to the Theatre of Dreams earlier this summer. Like Baleba, a deal for the Spaniard now could be unlikely in the next couple of weeks, after the 22-year-old penned a new deal until 2029 at the LaLiga outfit.

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.

Manchester United are forced to look elsewhere after their pursuit of Carlos Baleba is completely off due to Brighton's high demands.
