Carlos Baleba

Recent reports from February 2026 value the player in the £80-100 million (~€94-117 million) range amid interest from multiple clubs. In January 2026, reports suggested Brighton's asking price had dropped, with some claiming they would accept £75 million (~€88 million) and others valuing him at £87-100 million (~€102-117 million). This followed December 2025 reports that Brighton were newly open to offers around €85 million. Throughout most of 2025, Brighton's asking price was consistently reported at £100 million (~€117 million), and at times as high as €120 million. An early rumour from April 2024 mentioned a potential price of €65 million. His last completed transfer was from Lille to Brighton in August 2023 for a reported €27 million.

Our valuation for Carlos Baleba is based on consistent, widespread interest from top Premier League clubs and a reported softening of Brighton's initial asking price. While Brighton's valuation was consistently cited at £100 million (~€117 million) or higher throughout 2025, more recent reports from late 2025 and early 2026 suggest a new, more negotiable price point around €85-88 million. This revised figure, combined with his significant value appreciation since his €27 million transfer in 2023, forms the basis of our estimate.
