Borussia Dortmund targets Folarin Balogun amid transfer plans
Summary

Folarin Balogun, currently representing the United States at the World Cup, has emerged as a transfer target for Borussia Dortmund. According to Bild, he is considered a potential replacement for Serhou Guirassy, who may leave the club this summer. While Dortmund expects Guirassy to remain, interest from top clubs could change that. The club's primary target is Hoffenheim's Fisnik Asllani, although they may turn to Balogun if they miss out on Asllani or if Guirassy departs. Balogun is under contract with AS Monaco until 2028 and has scored three goals at the World Cup.
