What happened. Manchester United have made an initial offer of £60m plus £5m add-ons for Carlos Baleba, which is below Brighton's valuation. The 22-year-old has agreed personal terms with United.

• Baleba has been a target since last summer when Brighton valued him at £100m.
• His price has dropped after an uneven season.
• He has an ankle injury and would be United's third midfielder signing.

United are confident of signing Baleba for less than £75m, but Brighton's valuation remains higher.
