Manchester United agree transfer for Baleba for £70 million

The transfer saga surrounding Manchester United's midfield is nearing its conclusion: Manchester United has reached a full agreement with Brighton over the move of 22-year-old Cameroonian holding midfielder Carlos Baleba.

According to leading insider Sky Sport Germany Florian Plettenberg, the deal is completely wrapped up.

The guaranteed compensation will be at least around £70 million. Personal terms on a long-term contract between the player and the Red Devils were agreed upon earlier.

United have received the official 'green light' to proceed with a medical examination, although Baleba has yet to bid farewell to his teammates at Brighton.
