Man Utd Transfer Roundup: Baleba Deal Fades, Salinas Option Opens and Endrick Makes Contact

Manchester United's transfer picture has some fresh talking points: Carlos Baleba looks to be slipping out of reach, Jorge Salinas has emerged as a left-back option, and Endrick's camp has made contact with the club. insider has confirmed that a potential move for Carlos Baleba to Manchester United is "complicated" after the Brighton midfielder suffered a pre-season injury. The Cameroon international is expected to miss several weeks, although the problem is not as serious as initially feared. United have long admired Baleba, and the player is known to be very keen on the move, but a deal now looks highly unlikely. "Man Utd, at the moment, are not proceeding with the Carlos Baleba deal," Romano said. Barcelona are unwilling to trigger the €16 million release clause in Jorge Salinas' contract at Racing Santander. It was initially thought the left-back could be signed for €8m, but the value of the clause doubled following Racing's promotion. The newly promoted LaLiga club have made it clear they will not compromise on the €16m fee. Salinas wants to join Barcelona, but the club's dithering could open the door for United. Reports say he is considered a potential alternative to Newcastle's not-for-sale left-back Lewis Hall. Endrick's entourage has also made contact with Manchester United. The Brazilian has grown concerned about his role at Real Madrid after the club's attacking recruitment drive, which has seen them bring in Carlos Espi and Yan Diomande. Endrick is considering a move away, and his representatives have sounded out possible suitors. Real Madrid, for now, are only open to a loan exit. United are still keeping tabs on Lamine Camara at AS Monaco. The Red Devils were strongly linked with the Senegal international a few months ago, but little came of it. French reports say the club remain attentive. It looks as though Camara could take his first steps in the Premier League at a smaller club, though: Crystal Palace are said to have made a formal offer, while Nottingham Forest are preparing a bid.
