The summer transfer window has been dominated by the name of Folarin Balogun, the AS Monaco striker who has informed the club of his desire to seek a new challenge.
Monaco are demanding a significant sum for the 24-year-old forward, reportedly in the region of €50-55 million.
This valuation is a sharp increase from the €30 million Monaco paid for Balogun in 2023, highlighting his growing value in the transfer market.
Borussia Dortmund are considering Balogun as a replacement for Serhou Guirassy, whose expected departure could create a starting role for the American forward.
Juventus are also exploring the possibility of signing Balogun, despite financial constraints, with potential squad sales paving the way for the transfer.
The chance to link up with his USMNT teammate Weston McKennie adds further appeal to Balogun, who has already impressed in France with 19 goals and 5 assists last season.
With Balogun's intention to leave now clear and major clubs circling, the coming weeks could see his future resolved, potentially marking the start of a new chapter in his career.
Newcastle United and Chelsea are monitoring developments in England, with the latter viewing Balogun as an intriguing option thanks to his potential and American ties.
Barcelona have also been linked to Balogun, reportedly considering him as a long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski.
