Carlos Baleba, the Brighton midfielder, has re-emerged on Manchester United's transfer wishlist during the summer transfer window, as the club aims to bolster their midfield.
CaughtOffside reports that Manchester United's management is contemplating a renewed effort to sign the player after the deal fell through in the summer of 2025 due to Brighton's financial demands.
The source indicated that Balić had previously reached an agreement on personal terms with Manchester United, and he was keen on moving to Old Trafford, but Brighton refused to sell.
Negotiations have been stalled since January, before the matter came back to the forefront after the player's associates contacted Manchester United officials to explore the possibility of resuming discussions.
This move comes as Manchester United continues its search for a new midfielder, despite having completed several signings in this position during the current transfer window.
The report confirmed that the current initiative came from the player, with anticipation of Manchester United making a new offer to revive the deal.
