Monaco Prepared to Sell USMNT Star Balogun Amid Capital Interest
The reigning Ligue 1 champions are actively modifying their tactical setup following the departure of Portuguese forward Goncalo Ramos to AC Milan. With secondary targets like Eli Junior Kroupi deemed too expensive due to a massive hundred million euro price tag, the club has firmly shifted focus to Monaco.
Monaco are reportedly ready to sanction a permanent transfer for the 25-year-old American international if an offer reaches the region of 50 million euros. This valuation is deemed far more reasonable by the Paris hierarchy, who face stiff competition from several unnamed Premier League clubs.
