Reports say that Manchester United is targeting Brighton star Karos Valleva, who aims to make a “bold move,” so personal terminology is “not a problem.”
So far, Man Utd has completed three summer signatures and invested around £130 million in the lands of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon.
Over the past few weeks, the Red Devils have focused on landing the striker, and have settled down as a preferred target for Benjamin Sesco after missing Liam Dellup and Victor Gyoker.
Wednesday’s report revealed that Sesco is approaching a move to Old Trafford after selecting the man’s UTD on Newcastle United, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that he has reached a “complete agreement.”
The Red Devils hope that the exits of Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia and Rasmus Hojlund will be able to raise funds to remain in more additional markets after landing Sesco.
It has been widely reported that their next priority will be signing a new defensive midfielder, and it was revealed on Wednesday that they are planning a bold move for Baleba.

Valeva is considered one of the best young midfielders in the Premier League, and if Mann UTD lands as much as possible the move to Liverpool and Manchester City would be a major coup.
Respected reporter David Ornstein revealed to Athletic that the Red Devils had “contact” with Brighton beyond Valeva.
He added:
“The 21-year-old, who has three years left on the Brighton contract, has emerged as one of the most rated players in his position, and Brighton has no intention of sanctioning sales this summer.
“But the interest is the building, and united is one of many suitors, and is now broadcast through Go-Betweens.”

Fabrizio Romano provided further updates on the situation Thursday morning to see Baleba’s attitude and why trading is “very difficult.”
He states in X:
“Manchester United believes that it is not a problem to agree with the term Valeva, but they believe that club-to-club trades are extremely difficult.
“Brighton wants to keep Valeva this summer. It won’t be easy.”
Twitter account Indykaila News was previously known for being a parody account, but now has a “team of five respected reporters”, gaining over 540k followers on X, and was recently credited by Ornstein on Baleba.
They revealed “exclusive” on Baleba Wednesday night, claiming “Brighton wants £90 million +£10 million with Baleba add-ons, but Man Utd “sees him at a valuation of around £70 million in total.”
The “main part” of this update is said to be willing to make “bold moves” to force Baleba to switch to Man UTD. They added: “Now, the main part: it’s reportedly planned to intervene and ask Brighton to lower its asking price. That’s a bold move, but will they actually hear?
“If he can persuade them, it could change the entire #MUFC saga.”
