According to reporter Ben Jacobs, after communication between clubs, Manchester United will not provide a formal offer for Baleba. Manchester United still longs to sign Baleba, but does not think it is worth their pursuit of the midfield at the moment.
Brighton owner Tony Bloom made it clear that the club hopes to keep Baleba at least until the summer of 2026. In Brighton's view, Baleba's market value will eventually be comparable to that of Kessedo.
