Everton make official bid for Balogun

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Everton have made an official offer to AS Monaco for American striker Folarin Balogun, with negotiations ongoing between the two parties to finalize the deal before the transfer window closes.

According to the source, Everton are seeking to sign a new striker in the final hours of the transfer window, especially with the imminent departure of their forward Beto to ACF Fiorentina in a deal worth €17 million.

Balogun is currently one of Everton's key attacking targets as the club looks to strengthen its forward line, while no final agreement has yet been reached with AS Monaco regarding the player's transfer.

Reports indicate that the offer from Everton is around €18 million, as negotiations between the two clubs continue to reach a final agreement on the deal.

New developments regarding Baloha's future are expected in the coming hours as the European transfer window approaches its closure.
