UEFA Champions League
Juventus and Dortmund have initiated discussions to compete for the transfer of Folarin Balogun, 25 years old, currently with AS Monaco. The American was very close to leaving in the summer.
As revealed by journalist Ekrem Konur, both European entities are considering the addition of the American international after his sale to Everton fell through at the end of the last summer transfer window, with Monaco setting a valuation of 40 million euros to transfer the player.

AS Monaco's stance and Luciano Spalletti's interest in Juventus
The 25-year-old forward has a valid contract with Monaco until June 2028. However, tensions between the Principality's management and the player's entourage following the failed negotiation with Everton have opened the door to his immediate sale in the upcoming transfer windows.
In Turin, coach Luciano Spalletti has requested the arrival of an offensive reference to bolster the Bianconeri's scheme. The Piedmont hierarchy believes that the striker's profile fits within the allocated budget to strengthen their attack in Serie A.
Competition from Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga
Juventus' interest coincides with the offensive prepared by Borussia Dortmund's technical department. The German club aims to renew its forward line and has the necessary liquidity to meet the demands of the French club.
AS Monaco's board will not entertain offers below the €40 million mark, requiring both suitors to negotiate the payment terms before the start of the winter transfer market. The executives of Borussia Dortmund and Juventus will meet with Folarin Balogun's representatives during November 2026.
If an agreement is reached with AS Monaco on the figures, the transfer of the American forward will be completed in the next transfer window.
