Out the door: Monaco no longer need Balogun! Could the player move to England?
Manchester United and a number of other top clubs have been offered the chance to consider Monaco striker Folarin Balogun ahead of the winter transfer window.
Details: According to TEAMtalk, the French club are ready to let go of the 25-year-old United States international, who is suffering from a serious lack of playing time and has made just five substitute appearances in the current Ligue 1 campaign.

In addition to the Manchester club, intermediaries have offered the player's services to a number of other Premier League teams, including Everton, Leeds United, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest, as well as Juventus of Turin. Monaco's management intend to use the January window to trim the squad and sell the striker, who has lost his place in the starting lineup, opening up an opportunity for clubs looking to strengthen their attack on favorable terms.
Despite his impressive performance at the World Cup, the player failed to break into Felipe Luis's main squad at Monaco. Nevertheless, after playing only one half in the most recent match, he still managed to score a goal, although it ultimately did not help the Monegasques, who lost 1-3 to Paris. The player's current contract with the French club runs until the summer of 2028, while Transfermarkt value the footballer at €50 million.
