Liverpool enters the race for Carlos Baleba

The Cameroonian midfielder Carlos Baleba is once again attracting Premier League interest. According to Indykaila, Liverpool have now set their sights on the Brighton & Hove Albion player, who was already highly sought after last summer.

At just 21 years old, Baleba was one of the breakout stars of the English championship last season. Manchester United tried to secure his signature, but Brighton set an asking price considered prohibitive: around £155 million (nearly €180 million). That hefty sum cooled the ambitions of the Manchester club’s management.

This time, it’s Liverpool—the reigning English champions—who are considering making a renewed push next summer. The Reds see him as the perfect long-term reinforcement for their midfield.Since arriving from Lille in 2023, Carlos Baleba has already made 85 official appearances for Brighton. His physical power, game intelligence, and maturity make him one of the most promising young midfielders in Europe.
