Brighton might consider €85m transfer plan for Baleba in summer of 2026

According to Switzerland's Sky Sports journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Brighton may consider an 85 million euro bid for Baleba next summer.

It is reported that Brighton may consider an 85 million euro bid for Baléba in 2026, an amount that has given Bayern Munich pause, as the future of Goretzka remains uncertain. Baléba has made it onto Bayern's shortlist, but some within the club have reservations about paying such a high fee for him. 

In fact, the player himself has a clear preference, and Baleba is more inclined to Manchester United. 

On Manchester United's side, due to Brighton's sky-high asking price giving them some concerns, they have also been exploring other targets in recent days.

Between Manchester United and Bayern Munich, the player's heart clearly leans more towards Old Trafford. However, whether the Red Devils will resume their pursuit remains to be seen.
