Report: Liverpool poised to hijack Manchester United’s transfer target
Liverpool has emerged as a potential contender for Manchester United’s transfer target, Carlos Baleba. As reported by Anfield Watch, the club aims to enhance their midfield options, placing Baleba prominently on their radar. The report mentions that the Reds have consistently followed the player’s developments and kept an eye on his situation during the summer transfer window as well. Furthermore, it states that Arne Slot’s team was also prepared to submit an offer before Brighton’s position was made clear. Liverpool will face tough competition from Manchester United.Manchester United has shown interest in Baleba since the summer transfer window, having even made a proposal for the young midfielder. However, the move did not progress due to Brighton’s high demands, despite the player being keen on the transfer. The Red Devils continue to pursue him, with Ruben Amorim regarding Baleba as the perfect solution for their midfield concerns. According to Fabrizio Romano, the club is still in touch with the player’s representatives and would act swiftly to secure Baleba if Brighton indicates they are willing to sell him. That being said, Liverpool’s entry into the race could create unexpected competition for the 21-year-old.

He remarked: “Man United, I can assure you, have not ceased to bring up the name of Carlos Baleba in their internal discussions because Baleba is still viewed as an excellent solution by Ruben Amorim and the club’s personnel. “Baleba is highly regarded by Man United. Although a January transfer seems unlikely, if Brighton opens the door for his departure—whether in January or during the summer—Man United remain wholeheartedly interested. The club stays in contact with those close to the player.”
