Manchester United has made Cameroonian international Carlos Baleba its top priority for the future of its midfield.
Red Devils manager Michael Carrick sees the Cameroonian prospect as the ideal long-term successor to Casemiro. However, negotiations have stalled due to a significant financial gap.
Brighton is demanding a massive sum of between 90 and 100 million pounds to part with their indomitable lion.
There is a financial gap to bridge between the two clubs. For their part, Manchester United officials consider the Seagulls demands excessive and value the player at between 50 and 70 million pounds.
While Manchester United interest remains very strong, this significant valuation gap is currently blocking any agreement.
It remains to be seen whether the Red Devils will agree to meet the asking price or if Brighton will lower its expectations to get the transfer off the ground.
