Folarin Balogun’s Monaco future in focus as Juventus consider January move

Published on: 26 September 2026

Juventus are interested in Monaco striker Folarin Balogun, with a possible move to Turin being considered during the winter transfer window, according to journalist Ekrem Konur.

The 25-year-old American forward was close to joining Everton in the summer in a deal worth 45 million euros. However, the transfer collapsed before it could be completed.

Balogun has made only one appearance in Ligue 1 this season and has not recorded a goal or an assist. His limited involvement at Monaco comes as Juventus assess whether to pursue a move for the striker when the market reopens.

The forward was also at the centre of controversy during the 2026 World Cup. His red card was overturned before a last-16 match after United States president Donald Trump called FIFA president Gianni Infantino.

Juventus’ reported interest could offer Balogun the opportunity to continue his career in Italy, while Monaco may have to consider another decision over his future after the failed move to Everton.
