Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in signing Brighton & Hove Albion’s Carlos Baleba next summer. The 21-year-old midfielder is seen as a potential replacement for Leon Goretzka.
Baleba has been impressing with his strong work rate and defensive statistics, boasting an 86% pass completion rate and high take-on success. His impressive performances have caught the attention of several top European clubs, including Manchester United and Chelsea, who were linked with him last summer.
Brighton are open to selling Baleba next summer, with a reported asking price of around €85 million. However, it’s unclear whether Bayern Munich is willing to meet this price tag, given their cautious approach to big transfers.
Baleba’s contract with Brighton runs until 2028, giving the club leverage to negotiate a significant transfer fee. Manchester United is also reportedly interested in signing Baleba, and they may face competition from Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
The transfer window is still some time away, and much can change between now and then. However, Baleba’s impressive form and versatility make him an attractive prospect for top clubs looking to strengthen their midfield.
