Cameroon midfielder seen as Moisés Caicedo replacementAl-Nassr improve offer for Laporte; Newcastle track Hall
Brighton are preparing a new offer for Lille’s Carlos Baleba after identifying the Cameroon midfielder as their primary target to replace Moisés Caicedo.
An initial bid of £14.5m plus £2.5m in bonuses was rejected earlier this week by Lille, who signed Baleba from École de Football des Brasseries du Cameroun in January 2022. The French club are believed to value the 19-year-old closer to £30m after some impressive performances in Ligue 1 under manager Paulo Fonseca.
