Manchester United quoted Baleba this week, with a total price of 100 million pounds

After signing the new forward trident of Cunya, Mbemo and Sesco, Manchester United's pace of signing did not stop. On August 12, reporter Ross Harwood reported that Manchester United is expected to make an offer to Baleba this week, with a total price of 100 million pounds.

It is reported that the offer is a fixed amount of approximately £85 million, plus an additional clause of approximately £15 million. The quotation structure still needs to be further finalized, but the overall plan will form a total price of 100 million pounds.

Since the amount of this offer is within the range that Brighton will consider, it is very likely that the two parties will successfully reach an agreement. Like Cesco, Baleba himself is also very eager to join Manchester United, even if there is no European game to play in the new season.

Baleba was born in 2004 as a midfielder. In the summer window of 2023, he joined Brighton from Lille for 27 million euros, and then quickly became the main force of the Seagulls.

Last season, he contributed 4 goals and 2 assists for Brighton 40 appearances. Although Baleba is currently worth only 40 million euros in the German "Transfer Market", he is widely expected to become a top midfielder like Kesedo.

If Baleba can join, it will undoubtedly strengthen Manchester United's weakest midfield position. Perhaps it can also allow B Fee to devote more energy to the offensive organization. Although the deal is expensive, it is indeed worth it for Manchester United.

If Baleba can join, Manchester United will have a very competitive starting lineup in the new season.

Chelsea accelerates negotiations with Garnacho, and personal terms have reached an agreement

On August 12, according to Romano, Chelsea is accelerating negotiations with Garnacho, and the club's negotiations with Manchester United have entered a substantial stage.

Romano said: Garnacho only hopes to join Chelsea, personal terms have been agreed, and the two clubs are negotiating on the transfer fee, and Garnacho is expected to become a Chelsea player this summer.

At the same time, according to the British media Givemesport, although Leverkusen, Saudi United Club and some Serie A clubs have thrown olive branches, Manchester United winger Garnacho only wants to join Chelsea, and he has expressed his intentions to the Red Devils.

Sources revealed that Garnacho told Manchester United to either join Chelsea or stay with the team, even if it is not in the future plan at all. He was waiting, hoping that there would be a call from Chelsea to invite him to have a medical check-up, but there is still a lot of work to be done between the two clubs.

Garnacho has allegedly reached a full agreement with Chelsea, and the Blues have provided him with a contract until 2032. Garnacho believes joining Chelsea is the best chance for his career to recover, especially after a difficult season under Amorin.

Ganacho is 21 years old. He made 58 appearances in various competitions last season, contributing 11 goals and 10 assists. Currently, the player De's turnover price is 45 million euros.

Ligue 1:

Donarumma will not renew his contract with Paris and will leave the team

On August 12, according to Romano, Donarumma has not entered Paris's roster against Tottenham in the European Super Cup and will definitely leave the team. The contract between Donnarumma and Paris will expire next summer. This summer, Donaluma asked Paris to give him a salary increase, but was rejected by Parisian senior officials. Subsequently, Paris spent 40 million euros to sign Schalillier, and Donaruma was no longer a necessity for Paris.

Today, Paris announced the roster of the European Super Cup. Surprisingly, Donnarumma was not selected. Subsequently, famous reporter Romano pointed out that Donnarumma's departure was an irreversible fact. He said: "Donarumma will not renew his contract with Paris, and the two sides have not reached any agreement."

"Donarumma will leave the club 100%, either this year or next summer. Donarumma's team believes that Paris is not fair to Donarumma."

Then, Romano added: "Donarumma believes that he has done his best to try to reach an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain said that they have also done their best to reach an agreement with Donarumma, but ultimately failed to reach an agreement."

If Donarumma leaves this summer, he can bring a transfer fee to Paris. Sky Sports in Italy said that the current price tag for Paris is 20 million to 30 million euros, and the 26-year-old Donaruma is currently worth 40 million euros.

If you leave the team, the Premier League looks like Donnarumma's most likely destination. However, even though Paris has signaled him to leave, Donnarumma still hopes to control his future.
