Loaned by Arsenal to Reims all last season, Folarin Balogun showed great things with the Champagne club during the previous exercise. The 22-year-old player notably found the net 21 times while delivering 3 assists, all in 37 appearances in Ligue 1. Back in London, the American international (2 starts for 1 achievement) does not wish to be loaned again as he recently confided. “What I can say is that I will definitely not come back on loan” had also declared the main interested party. And the attacker was heard by his management since the latter would have found him a way out.
Since the abandonment of the track leading to Romelu Lukaku, Inter seem to be holding the rope to attract Folarin Balogun into their nets. The Nerazzurri are keen to recruit a new striker during this summer transfer window and the profile of the former Rémois perfectly matches the interest of the Italian leaders. Indeed, the Milanese club is very interested in signing the striker from Arsenal. According The Athletic, talks have even already taken place with the 22-year-old’s representatives. Although there has not yet been an official offer from the Italian leaders, an envelope of around 40 million euros should arrive from the London side even if Arsenal would ask a little more to release their striker .
