Baleba Joins United for $70M | Jamaica News

Manchester United just splashed seventy million dollars to bring Carlos Baleba from Brighton — the third midfielder signed this summer, filling the void left by Casemiro. With midfield spending now exceeding 150 million, United are clearly rebuilding their engine room with a focus on grit and athleticism. Baleba, a top-tier tackler and ball-carrier last season, was previously eyed a year ago but deemed too expensive — now he’s finally coming to Old Trafford, thrilled to work under Michael Carrick. A standout in over 100 Brighton appearances since joining from France in 2023, Baleba’s determination and unique skill set made him a no-brainer for United, despite a slightly less flashy campaign. Signed for five years with an option for one more, he’s currently rehabbing a pre-season ankle injury — but don’t expect long waits for his impact.
