Balogun Transfer Drama Unfolds | MLS News

Folarin Balogun’s transfer saga hits another twist as the USMNT striker pulls out of his move to Everton at the last minute, citing discomfort with the deal. Monaco, desperate for cash, had even shelved a planned sale of Lamine Camara when Balogun’s move seemed back on — but now both players are stuck. With top European leagues closed for signings, Monaco is pivoting to markets like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Portugal where windows remain open and financial firepower exists. MLS? Forget it — the mid-season window’s closed, and even if it reopened, no team could afford Monaco’s $54M asking price, especially for a player who’s never played professionally in the States.
