The Seagulls have set a £100M price tag on Baleba, who was signed for £23.2M in 2023. However, Manchester United is willing to negotiate and believes that the price tag can be lowered. This is not the first time that United has shown interest in Baleba, but this time they are more serious about making a move.

Manchester City is also interested in Baleba, but it is unclear whether they will match any bid from United. City has already spent £50M on midfielder Tijjani Reijnders this summer. Meanwhile, Baleba's wages have been revealed, and they are surprisingly low compared to other United players. He earns around £12,500 per week, which is a fraction of what Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes earn.

United could offer Baleba much higher wages if he joins the club. In fact, they could potentially offer him up to ten times his current wages. This is a significant advantage for United, and they are keen on bringing Baleba to the club once Sesko's deal is completed. Journalists have confirmed that United has approached Baleba's camp to discuss his situation, and the club plans to try to get a new midfielder after Sesko's deal is done.
