This is bad news for AS Monaco and Folarin Balogun. According to information from RMC Sportthe American striker was not satisfactory during his medical examination with Everton, where he was supposed to sign. This was the last obstacle before signing the contracts and formalizing his transfer. At present, a happy ending seems unlikely.

The English club’s medical staff believe that he does not have all of his physical capabilities and have decided to put the case on standby. However, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, the player and his entourage claim that the striker is fit to play without any problems. Same story on the side of the Principality where we do not understand the returns of the Toffees. An agreement had been set at €50 million, bonus included.

Monaco, the player and his entourage do not understand

Of course, the American international has still not returned to competition this season but this is due to his late return to competition. “ Folarin has just started his pre-season, he returned late from the World Cup and had to recover from a small injury contracted with his selection. He couldn’t train anymore », Said Filipe Luis ten days ago. Balogun had still resumed collective training.

If this transfer were to collapse permanently, it would inevitably be a huge blow, especially a few hours before the transfer market closes. There will be no time to turn around. The ASM was counting on this big sale to get into the spotlight of the DNCG. The club even took the liberty of refusing two offers from Chelsea for Lamine Camara. He was waiting to wrap up Balogun to bring in Erik Lira, who will not come either, the timing having passed.
