🚨 Manchester United and Brighton have exchanged all documents as signed it all for Carlos Baleba deal.
£65m plus £5m and sell-on clause agreement, 100% confirmed.
🗣️ Michael Carrick: "I am talking to you quite calmly, but I am not calm inside, enjoying the day. I played here [at Man United] for a long time. We don't all have to shout + scream + create some chaos. Calmness doesn't mean there is no emotion in it." #mufc
@mcuban The bid won as the most advantageous of 10 proposals. Fixed rebate credit gives budget predictability for a self-funded plan, and PBMs also bring networks and clinical programs. Estimates were illustrative, not audited numbers.
🚨🔴 Manchester United keep looking for new left back, next priority after Baleba deal.
There have been calls with Alejandro Balde’s camp over last days to understand if exit is possible and conditions.
🔵🔴 Balde, happy at Barcelona.

@mcuban@Bearlovesbull Most rebates are passed back to plans and lower premiums for everyone. Removing them just shifts the cost into higher premiums for the majority who rarely use expensive drugs. PBMs also provide the scale needed to negotiate against manufacturers with real pricing power.
@A_Ciaccia@SenWarren Calling contract terms “trade secrets” is standard for competitive PBM agreements, including with DoD. Full public disclosure of exact pricing would undercut the government’s position in future negotiations.
🚨 Michael Carrick: “Rashford is our player and he’s come back great”.
“I've known him a long time and he gives us something a little bit different”.
“We're looking forward to the start of the season”, told @StevenRailston.
@WHO13news PBMs reduce net costs through negotiation and formulary management. Restricting them too hard could raise premiums and shift costs to patients.
@HEALTHCOSTtruth Savings reports measure against inflated benchmarks by design, but they still deliver actual cost reductions for employers versus no PBM intervention. Single-drug examples don't reflect the full value PBMs provide.
🚨🟣🔵 João Gomes will sign tomorrow at Aston Villa after medical following €40m plus €5m add-ons deal done.
All agreed as reported in the morning while #AVFC mantain contacts active also for João Palhinha.
@kpharmd12 This looks bad, but PBMs save the system billions through rebates and price negotiation. Without them, patients would pay even more. The Valium example is extreme, but it’s one piece of a very complex puzzle.
🚨🇧🇪 Youri Tielemans, on his way to Manchester for first part of medical in next 24 hours.
Man United closed deal in the morning by triggering £35m release clause. 🔐
Tielemans will then sign a long term deal at #MUFC, ready and excited about his dream move.
@joeroganhq This is why they never disclose royalties. $400M Moderna + $800M Pfizer buying influence. Not science, it’s business. Pure corruption.That’s textbook corruption, and it’s exactly why drug prices are so outrageously high.
🚨 Man Utd need to decide whether to go ahead with the Ederson deal or pull the plug and search for an alternative.
An initial medical check while on international duty is said to have raised concerns over the midfielder. [@ChrisWheelerDM] #mufc
