Tottenham has thrown its hat into the ring for Carlos Baleba, determined to challenge Manchester United in the race to sign the Cameroonian midfielder. The London club sees him as a strategic addition, capable of bringing power and impact to the midfield as early as this winter.

But the mission will be anything but simple. Brighton, staying true to its policy of high-value sales, is reportedly demanding nearly €100 million for their player—a price tag that would deter all but the most serious suitors. This figure instantly makes Baleba one of the most complicated transfer targets in the upcoming window.

If Tottenham truly wants to lure Baleba away, they will have to match this hefty price tag. A financial showdown is now underway with Manchester United, and the Cameroonian could become one of the hottest stories of the coming weeks.
