Everton has made a formal bid to acquire AS Monaco striker Folarin Balogun as the summer transfer window approaches its conclusion. The 25-year-old forward, who impressed during his time in Ligue 1, has become a priority target for the Merseyside club’s attacking lineup.
Balogun has not featured for Monaco this season as he continues recovery from a minor injury sustained during World Cup involvement. Manager Filipe Luís confirmed the player’s status, noting he remains sidelined while younger prospect Paris Brunner has stepped into a prominent role following his brace in Monaco’s recent victory over Marseille.
Both Monaco and Balogun have demonstrated openness to pursuing a transfer this summer, with widespread European interest reported. The former Arsenal player has reportedly agreed to personal terms with Everton, signaling his willingness to make the move to Goodison Park. As negotiations intensify in these final days of the transfer window, Everton’s submission of an official offer represents a significant step in their pursuit of the striker.
