Independent: Manchester United offers Baleba 80 million pounds + bonus; Walton is considered if he can t sign

Hupu, August 14th, According to Miguel Delaney, editor-in-chief of the English media "Independent", Manchester United is actively striving to sign Baleba at the current transfer window. Coach Amorin urgently needs a midfielder to speed up the team's reconstruction.

Brighton is reportedly hoping to ask the 21-year-old for about £120 million, and the team owner Tony Bloom is usually firm in terms of such a price. Manchester United executives are currently considering how to build a payment plan, with one idea of paying £80 million first and the rest being supplemented in the form of additional terms. Manchester United intends to send players like Sancho as exchange chips, but Brighton is unlikely to accept such a plan.

Although Manchester United expects to spend for the remainder of the transfer window, they have so far supplemented their available budget under the player sales earnings program by completing three big deals - Cunia, Mbemo and Sheshko, as well as the down payments that have been paid.

Amorin insisted on bringing in a midfielder who could bring the team together, and Baleba was considered to be the one that best suited their needs. Another attractive thing is that he can not only meet Manchester United's current needs, but also has huge potential.

If Manchester United can't sign him this summer, they will almost certainly try to bring in the Cameroonian star again next year. This could also be the case with Walton, the first-choice replacement for Manchester United in the midfield position. If Baleba is unable to sign, the club may try to introduce Crystal Palace's defensive midfielder Adam Walton, but the Red Devils have also been interested in partnering the two for a long time. However, Walton's transfer fee is expected to be higher this summer, as Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish is unwilling to let him go, after all, they may still lose Gee and Eze this summer.

Manchester United also inspected Portugal Sports' Jurmander, but there are questions about whether he has the physique required for Manchester United's desired position. Ederson of Atlanta is also popular, although he has a slightly different position.

Baleba himself is very enthusiastic about joining Manchester United's transfer.
