Manchester United has reached a significant agreement, reportedly up to £70 million, for a highly sought-after midfielder from Brighton. The breakthrough in negotiations on Friday evening paves the way for the 22-year-old Cameroon international to undergo his medical this weekend. This acquisition marks a further strengthening of United's midfield, following the earlier arrivals of Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa. The initial fee is £65 million, with an additional £5 million in add-ons, and Brighton has secured a sell-on clause. This deal, despite the player currently recovering from an ankle injury, will push United's summer spending to £153 million. Head coach Michael Carrick's squad will gain added athleticism, with the player's eagerness to move north accelerating the transfer. The club also considers options for left-back cover, including this new signing.
