Folarin Balogun Transfer from Monaco to Crystal Palace
Folarin Balogun, a centre-forward for the United States international team, is reportedly seeking a transfer to English football. Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Everton, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, and Sunderland are among the clubs interested in him. Balogun joined his current club, Monaco, in August 2023 on a contract that runs until June 2028. Monaco would prefer to retain the 24-year-old and are not expected to facilitate a transfer easily. The asking price is likely to be approximately £43m. In the 2025/2026 Ligue 1 season, Balogun made 30 appearances, scoring 13 goals and providing 5 assists. His former club, Arsenal, would benefit from a potential sale as they have a 17.5% sell-on clause, which could be worth up to £7.5m. According to one source, clubs in Europe have been monitoring Balogun since his period at Arsenal, and a move is expected this summer. The same source stated that while Monaco sources are minimizing the likelihood of a transfer, the player has a strong interest in a Premier League move, and several clubs in the league have been informed he is available for a total fee of approximately £43m. The forward has 29 caps and 11 goals for the United States. His current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €40.00m.
