Monaco striker Folarin Balogun is being linked with a summer move after the World Cup and clubs from across Europe are interested in his signature.
The striker is currently competing at the World Cup and has impressed with his performances for the United States, who have already secured top spot in Group D ahead of Australia, Paraguay and Turkey.
Balogun has led the line for Mauricio Pochettino's men in their opening two games and The Athletic are now reporting that the former Arsenal man is on his way out of Monaco this summer.
Balogun's performances at this summer's World Cup will only increase his value and The Athletic suggest that Monaco are looking for a fee in the region of €50million.
Monaco would make around €20million profit after signing him in 2023, and it appears that this summer is the ideal time to sell him.
Balogun's contract expires in June 2028, meaning the Ligue 1 club would get a respectable fee for his services.
Neither Monaco nor Balogun have shown interest in starting contract extension talks and it appears both parties are expected to pursue a sale once he returns from the World Cup.
Clubs in the Premier League and in Serie A are monitoring Balogun's situation and the former Arsenal man looks ready for the next step in his career and we assess where he could go if he leaves the Ligue 1 club.
Everton
As co-hosts, the USA have plenty of eyes on their performances, but Balogun looks like he is relishing the attention and reports suggest he is keen to move on from Ligue 1.
The 24-year-old came through the Arsenal academy, but he only made two appearances for the first team in three years.
A loan spell at Middlesbrough saw him score three goals in 18 appearances, but it was in France where he found his feet. Balogun scored 21 goals for Reims in 37 appearances, which caught the eye of Monaco scouts.
He has since scored 24 league goals in 72 appearances and he finished the 2025/26 campaign with 13 goals in 30 outings.
He has won two player of the match awards at the World Cup, scoring two goals in two games and his form has caught the attention of Everton scouts.
The Toffees have been linked with Balogun on several occasions in the last 12 months and David Moyes is still keen for a deal to be done.
Despite having Thierno Barry and Beto on their books, neither striker delivered the goods on a consistent basis for Moyes last season.
Barry is being linked with a move to RB Leipzig or Hoffenheim and a sale could fund a move to match Monaco's asking price.
Aston Villa
If Balogun wants to play at the highest level, then a move to Villa Park would certainly make sense.
Unai Emery's Aston Villa qualified for the UEFA Champions League and he will need another option in the final third to Ollie Watkins, with the England international turning 31 in December.
Villa would need to facilitate the deal by selling several first-team players, but a squad refresh is not out of the question after their stellar campaign last time out.
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace boss Pierre Sage knows all about Balogun's quality after facing him as Lens boss.
After his move to Selhurst Park earlier this month, Sage will already be looking out for new recruits, with the Eagles set to compete in the Europa League.
Jean-Philippe Mateta was linked with a move away from London last summer, while Eddie Nketiah has struggled to stay fit.
Balogun would no doubt welcome a return to London and Sage has seen first-hand what he can do.
AC Milan
Italian giants AC Milan had a season to forget, as they finished fifth in Serie A. Ruben Amorim is set to overhaul his squad after his arrival and he is without a true number nine in his current squad.
AC Milan have been linked with the likes of Serhou Guirassy, Gabriel Jesus and Goncalo Ramos this summer, but, with Monaco willing to open talks about a sale, they could soon make an offer for one of the leading strikers at the World Cup.
