Carlos Baleba

Recent reports from July 2026 indicate Brighton's asking price has softened from a consistent €115-120 million valuation cited throughout late 2025 and early 2026. Current reports suggest a new asking price in the range of £70-80 million (€83-95 million), with some sources stating Brighton will not accept less than €80 million. Manchester United was reportedly deterred by a £100 million (€115 million) price in 2025 but is now linked with a move in the lower range. In July 2026, Galatasaray was reportedly quoted €90 million after discussing a €40-50 million fee. Earlier in February 2026, PSG was reportedly willing to offer €70-75 million. Baleba joined Brighton from Lille in August 2023 for a reported €27 million.

Our valuation for Carlos Baleba is shaped by a significant volume of recent reporting indicating a shift in Brighton's asking price. While previously valued at over €115 million throughout 2025, reports from mid-2026 consistently suggest the price has been lowered to a range of £70-80 million (€83-95 million) following an inconsistent season. With reports also stating Brighton will not sell for less than €80 million and interested clubs targeting a deal around £70 million, a compromise in this range is highly likely, especially given the player's reported desire to move. This represents a substantial increase from his €27 million transfer in 2023.
