American soccer player Folarin Balogun, 20, was omitted from Monaco's Conference League squad and will also miss a match against Paris Saint-Germain in the French league, according to a report on September 4, 2026. Monaco's uncertainty over Balogun's future follows the collapse of his proposed transfer to Everton for a reported 40 million pounds ($54 million) on the last day of the summer transfer window.
Balogun reportedly pulled out of the deal due to Monaco's concern about his health during a medical examination. Despite being back in group training with Monaco, Balogun has not played in any of the team's four games this season. Monaco is facing financial pressure from French league rules and is exploring selling Balonu or other top players, with a potential option being Saudi Arabia, where the transfer window closes on October 12.
