Brighton, meanwhile, are not interested in parting ways with the Cameroonian star and have estimated him at £100m ($135m) in order to block potential offers. Despite the hefty price tag, Man United’s reported interest in Baleba continues to prevail.

Manchester United have given up on signing Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Carlos Baleba this summer, per David Ornstein. The 21-year-old emerged as a top midfield target for United earlier this month, making initial contacts through intermediaries.

Brighton and Cameroon midfielder Carlos Baleba is likely to stay with the club despite having been linked with a transfer to Manchester United, according to multiple reports.
