Manchester United new signing Carlos Baleba says joining the club is a dream come true for him. The deal is reportedly worth £65 million with five million pounds in potential add-ons.
He said this in his first official interview as a player of Manchester United after signing a five year deal with the club with an option to extend by a year.
Baleba joined Man United from Brighton and Hove Albion after spending three seasons with the Seagulls. He played for French Ligue 1 side Lille before moving to England and described his latest move as a major step in his career.
“It is an incredible feeling to join the club of my dreams. Playing at Old Trafford is always special, but the opportunity to do so as a Manchester United player will be a real honour.”
“The ambition of everyone at the club is extremely clear, the future is hugely exciting, and I am determined to play my part in delivering the success that we are capable of together” Baleba said.
He will wear the jersey number 20 at his new club.
