Manchester United Transfer News Today: Baleba Deal, Ricardo Mathias Target, and Sancho Exit
Manchester United transfer news is dominating the headlines this summer as the Red Devils reshape their squad under Erik ten Hag. The latest updates include a massive push for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba, strong interest in Brazilian striker Ricardo Mathias, and fresh developments in Jadon Sancho’s potential move to Roma.
Carlos Baleba: United’s £120M Midfield Target
Manchester United are in advanced talks with Brighton over the signing of Carlos Baleba. The 20-year-old has emerged as one of the most sought-after midfielders in the Premier League. Brighton are holding firm at £120 million, but United are exploring a structured payment deal to make the transfer possible.
Baleba’s profile – tactical intelligence, ball-winning ability, and composure under pressure – fits Ten Hag’s system perfectly. The player is reportedly keen on joining United, even without European football this season.
Other midfield targets include:
- Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace)
- Ederson (Atalanta)
- Morten Hjulmand (Sporting CP)

Ricardo Mathias: Brazilian Wonderkid on United’s Radar
The Manchester United transfer news buzz doesn’t stop at midfield. The Red Devils are scouting Ricardo Mathias, a rising Brazilian striker at Internacional. United are reportedly weighing up a £56.2 million offer for the 19-year-old.
Mathias has drawn comparisons to Robert Lewandowski due to his clinical finishing, positional awareness, and ability to hold up play. Signing him would align with United’s youth-focused recruitment strategy, securing top talent for the long term.

Jadon Sancho: Roma Lead the Transfer Race
AS Roma have made a formal offer to take Jadon Sancho on loan with an option to buy. United, who paid £73 million for Sancho in 2021, could save £10 million in wages if the move materialises.
Other clubs interested include Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, and Besiktas, but Roma’s persistence may give them the edge. For Sancho, this could be a fresh start after a turbulent spell at Old Trafford.
