According to Nathan Salt, a reporter from Manchester United in the Daily Mail, the statement that Manchester United and Brighton reached an agreement on Barreba is not true.

Nathan Salt said that Baleba is still the focus of Manchester United's midfield signings, but the two sides have not reached any agreement yet.

The 21-year-old Cameroon midfielder Baleba made 40 appearances in various competitions last season, scored 4 goals and contributed 2 assists. Baleba's contract with the club expires in the summer of 2028, and the current player De's turnaround is worth 40 million euros.
