Monaco plans to sell Folarin Balogun in January transfer window
Summary

Thiago Scuro, the CEO of AS Monaco, announced plans to sell Folarin Balogun during the January transfer window. Balogun's previous move to Everton fell through after he expressed concerns over his fitness during a medical. The decision to offload him is part of Monaco's strategy to comply with financial regulations, allowing them to retain teammates Lamine Camara and Aleksandr Golovin for the remainder of the season. Scuro reiterated that while the club aims to find a solution for Balogun, various factors could influence the final outcome.
