Man Utd handed boost in Carlos Baleba pursuit
IMAGO / PPAUK
Man United have been given the green light to pursue Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba, after a report by Indykaila News revealed that the player wants to leave Brighton next January.
The Red Devils tried to sign the 21-year-old Cameroonian star over the summer but were ultimately blocked by their Premier League rivals, who vehemently opposed the deal.
With the midfielder reportedly wanting to leave the south-coast club in the next transfer window, Man United are expected to have another attempt at bringing him to Old Trafford, with the price estimated to be in the region of £80m.
Baleba arrived at the Amex Stadium in the summer of 2023 following a £23m transfer from Lille OSC, and he has since established himself as one of Brighton’s key assets.
Real Madrid linked with Arsenal wonderkid Max Dowman
La Liga giants Real Madrid are understood to be keeping close tabs on Arsenal’s 15-year-old sensation Max Dowman, according to the latest report from TBR Football.
Los Blancos have reportedly watched the player since 2022, when he appeared in the Madrid Football Cup aged 12 – a tournament which saw Dowman top the goalscoring charts.
The teenager was thrust into the spotlight last August when he made his Premier League debut for Arsenal – coming off the bench against Leeds United to become the second youngest player in the competition’s history.
For the time being, Dowman remains at Arsenal, where he is expected to receive a professional contract once he turns 17. After that, the Gunners could face a serious transfer battle as they look to keep hold of their wonderkid.
Tottenham join transfer race for French prodigy Tylel Tati
Tottenham are one of seven Premier League clubs looking to secure the services of French youngster Tylel Tati, according to a report by Caught Offside.
Spurs, alongside Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United, Brighton, Brentford and Aston Villa, have sent scouts to monitor the development of the FC Nantes defender.
Tati has only made six appearances for Les Canaris this season, yet he has already caught the attention of some of the biggest clubs in Europe and built his estimated value on Transfermarkt to £5m.
As well as heavy interest from the Premier League, the likes of Barcelona, RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen are all tracking the exciting prospect, with the hope of attracting the teenager in the near future.
