Folarin Balogun, Everton and Monaco
30 August 2026
Everton have submitted an €18 million bid to Monaco for United States striker Folarin Balogun, with the player reportedly agreeing personal terms in principle. The 25-year-old has indicated that a move to Merseyside is his preferred destination before the deadline.
Monaco remain reluctant to lose Balogun, so the clubs must still agree a fee. Everton’s ability to complete the move may also depend on attacking departures, with Iliman Ndiaye in Tottenham talks and Beto another possible outgoing player.
