Folarin Balogun Transfer from Monaco to Benfica
90min reports on the transfer situation of Folarin Balogun, a 25-year-old United States international. After Folarin Balogun was left out of Monaco's European roster and his transfer to Everton did not proceed on the Premier League's deadline day, the club is now seeking an alternative departure for the striker. With the transfer window in Portugal still open until September 15, the country is considered the most prestigious European league where a transfer could still happen. However, it is uncertain whether Balogun can convince one of the 'Big Three' clubs—Porto, Sporting CP, or Benfica—to make a move for him. Balogun, who has 31 caps and 12 goals for the USA, is under contract with Monaco until 2028, having joined from Arsenal in August 2023 for a €30 million fee. The September 2026 transfer to Everton that did not proceed was reportedly for a package of around €50 million, which matched Monaco's asking price throughout the summer. His current Transfermarkt market value is €50.00m, and several other Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, have also been linked with him.
