Latest news from FC Barcelona: the Blaugrana have included Folarin Balogun, a 25-year-old forward from Monaco, among the options they are considering to strengthen their attack in the final stretch of the market. The American could leave this summer, and his transfer could be around 60 million euros, as reported by L’Equipe.

Barça joins a race where several Premier League teams are already involved. Tottenham has been working on the signing for days, and Aston Villa has also inquired about his situation, while Monaco needs to make sales to balance their books before the market closes.

FC Barcelona targets Balogun

Balogun emerges as a new option for the attack after a season where he returned to his best form. The forward finished the 2025/26 season with 19 goals in 43 official matches, a performance that has aroused the interest of several European clubs.

His contract situation allows Monaco to hold a strong position in any negotiation. The American is under contract until 2028, giving the French club two more seasons before facing the end of his deal.

The financial demand revolves around 60 million euros. This is the amount that Tottenham began considering for negotiations in early August, a figure that also indicates how much FC Barcelona might have to invest if they decide to move forward.

Balogun has also been prominent with the United States. The forward boasts 31 caps and 12 goals for his national team and featured in the 2026 World Cup before returning to Monaco’s squad.

Monaco considers a sale this summer

Monaco's financial situation may lead to movements in the final days of the market. The French club has already made significant sales this summer but still needs to generate income before completing further deals in the squad.

Therefore, a transfer for Balogun is on the table. The forward was one of the most productive players last season, allowing the club to demand a considerably higher amount than what an opportunistic deal would reflect.

Barça's interest is not alone. Tottenham has progressed the most and has already made contacts, using the 60 million as a reference, while Aston Villa has recently joined the race for the forward.

Competition forces Barça to make a decision

FC Barcelona has several options for the forward position, and Balogun is now added to the list. The sports management must decide if the American transitions from a scouted player to a viable market option in the coming days.

Time could be crucial as Tottenham has acted before. If the English club reaches an agreement with Monaco, Barça's window of opportunity will quickly close.

Currently, FC Barcelona is monitoring the progress of a deal that could cost around 60 million euros. The next step will depend on whether Barça decides to engage fully in negotiations for Balogun before one of its competitors finalizes an agreement with Monaco.
