According to Portuguese media outlet Mercado Azul, Brighton & Hove Albion are interested in Porto full-back Costa, who has a release clause of 65 million euros.<\/p>\n

Alberto Costa has reportedly been a sought-after player by various international leagues, and Brighton & Hove Albion is one of the clubs most frequently mentioned recently as being interested in the right-back.<\/p>\n

Alberto Costa’s market value is 18 million euros, and his release clause is 65 million euros. He is highly valued by the FC Porto management, making his sale in this transfer window difficult.<\/p>\n

Brighton & Hove Albion hope to strengthen their right-back position, and they will undoubtedly face fierce competition to convince the young Portuguese full-back to join. In addition to the Premier League, clubs in other leagues, particularly Serie A, have also made tentative contact with him<\/p>\n

Manchester United\u2019s pursuit of Brighton & Hove Albion powerhouse Carlos Baleba appears to be heating up, with the midfielder reportedly engaging in discussions with several members of the Red Devils’ squad. The Cameroon international has been a long-term target for the Old Trafford recruitment team, and his recent interactions have only added fuel to the fire regarding a potential summer move.<\/p>\n

Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba has discussed the possibility of joining Manchester United with some of the club\u2019s players. The 22-year-old, who has been tracked by United for over a year, spoke to Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha after their 3-0 victory at the Amex on the final day of the season.<\/p>\n

According to The Sun, Baleba made a beeline for unused substitute Cunha after the final whistle and the pair spoke at length by the tunnel. Cunha has been supportive of Baleba in the past, having played against him twice for Wolves.<\/p>\n\n
