The cost of acquiring Baleba is high, with Brighton reportedly valuing him at over £100 million. In contrast, Sporting CP is demanding a lower price of £50 million for Hjulmand, who is the club captain.
According to reports, Manchester United will pursue a deal for Hjulmand if they are unable to reach an agreement with Brighton for Baleba before the summer transfer window closes.
Manchester United faces financial constraints, known as Profit & Sustainability limits, which may require them to sell several players before making a significant purchase like Baleba.
