At Paris Saint-Germain, files are progressing in parallel at the dawn of a season which once again promises to be very busy. One of the major movements of this summer transfer window concerns Gonçalo Ramos, whose departure to AC Milan is now official. The Portuguese striker, often used as a luxury alternative in the Parisian rotation, will regain starting status in Serie A under the orders of his compatriot Ruben Amorim. A weight loss for Luis Enrique, especially as Kang-in Lee is also preparing to pack up to join Atlético de Madrid. To compensate for these departures and reshape its offensive animation, the Ile-de-France management has already identified its priorities. On the wings, the profiles of Yan Diomandé and Maghnes Akliouche are unanimous in providing percussion. But at the same time, the signing of a new central striker to replace the Lusitanian number nine is also being seriously studied.
To fill this void at the forefront of the attack, Luis Campos and the Parisian staff have drawn up a short list bringing together several attractive names. Among them, the profile of Folarin Balogun emerges insistently. It must be said that the American international is currently having a particularly remarkable 2026 World Cup under the colors of the United States. As soon as he entered the competition, the center forward hit hard by scoring a double in the success (4-1) against Paraguay. A historic performance which confirms his superb past season with AS Monaco. Author of 19 goals in 43 matches in all competitions, he finished top scorer for the Principality club, establishing himself as one of the essential offensive references in our championship.
Falorin Balogun has internal supporters in Paris
This modern goalscorer profile corresponds in every way to the criteria sought by the reigning French champion. According to our information, the 24-year-old American striker is particularly appreciated internally by the Parisian sports management, who view his immense experience in Ligue 1 very favorably, guaranteeing an express adaptation within the locker room. However, if Paris Saint-Germain’s interest is real, it should be noted that absolutely no official contact has yet been established between the Ile-de-France management and its Monegasque counterpart on this issue. Paris is carefully observing the player’s situation, but has not yet drawn up the slightest formal approach to launch hostilities.
As for the Principality club, the door is not closed to the departure of its American striker. In fact, ASM finds itself obliged to sell this summer to balance its finances. Faced with this absolute necessity, the Asemist leadership made a clear decision: Folarin Balogun is one of three players with high market value whose departure is being considered to replenish its coffers. He is accompanied in this summer showcase by midfielder Lamine Camara and by winger Maghnes Akliouche, the latter being precisely PSG’s other major priority for its corridors. With Monegasques open to negotiations by force of circumstances, Paris Saint-Germain has a royal route to come and do its business on the Rock if it decides to really take action. The fact remains that today the biggest signs of interest come from the Premier League. From an English source, Tottenham and Chelsea are today very interested in the striker’s profile…
