Carlos Baleba

Recent reports from July 2026 suggest Brighton's asking price for the player has dropped to between €82-93 million (£70-80m), with Manchester United reportedly preferring a deal nearer €58 million (£50m). Earlier in 2025 and early 2026, the valuation was consistently cited at or above €115 million (£100m), with some reports mentioning figures as high as €120 million. In February 2026, PSG was reportedly considering a €70-75 million offer. Galatasaray was reportedly quoted €90 million in July 2026, though discussions were said to be in the €40-50 million range. The player's completed transfer from Lille to Brighton in August 2023 was for a reported €27 million.

Our valuation is driven by numerous recent reports from July 2026 indicating Brighton has lowered their asking price for Carlos Baleba from a consistent €115 million (£100m) in the previous year. The new reported asking price is around €82 million (£70m), while Manchester United's interest is reportedly at a lower figure closer to €58 million (£50m). Our estimate represents a likely compromise between these two positions, factoring in the player's reported dip in form and Brighton's history of strong negotiations.
