Folarin Balogun Transfer from Monaco to Everton
United States international Folarin Balogun is understood to be seeking a move back to English football, with Everton, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, and Sunderland all interested in him. His current club, Monaco, would prefer to keep the 24-year-old centre-forward and will not facilitate an easy transfer, setting an asking price of approximately £43m. A transfer at that value would see his former club Arsenal receive around £7.5m due to a 17.5% sell-on clause. Several Premier League clubs have been informed that Balogun is available for a package worth that amount. While sources at Monaco are reportedly minimizing the significance of the situation, the player is eager to make a Premier League move, which is expected to happen this summer after being tracked by clubs across Europe for some time. Balogun, who has 29 caps and 11 goals for the United States, joined Monaco in August 2023 for a fee of €30 million and his contract is due to expire in June 2028. In the 2025/2026 Ligue 1 season, he scored 13 goals and provided 5 assists in 30 appearances. His current Transfermarkt market value is €40.00m.
