Liverpool is reportedly considering a surprising bid for Carlos Baleba, a target of Manchester United.
According to Anfield Watch, Liverpool aims to strengthen their midfield, with Baleba being a top candidate.
The report notes that the Reds have shown interest in the midfielder for some time and have kept tabs on his situation since the summer.
Furthermore, it suggests that Arne Slot’s team was prepared to make their own offer before Brighton made their position clear.
Liverpool Faces Tough Competition from Manchester United
Manchester United has pursued Baleba since the last summer transfer window, even putting forth an offer for the player.
However, the deal fell through due to Brighton’s hefty asking price, despite Baleba’s willingness to transfer.
The Red Devils continue to target the player, as Ruben Amorim considers him an ideal solution to their midfield challenges.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the club is still in communication with Baleba’s representatives and is ready to act if Brighton signals a willingness to negotiate.
Now, Liverpool could become a surprise contender in the race to acquire the 21-year-old midfielder.
