The FC Barcelona is targeting Folarin Balogun, a 25-year-old striker from Mónaco, to strengthen their attack in the final stretch of the market.
What has happened?
The Catalan team has included Balogun among the options they are considering to reinforce their attack, with a possible transfer of 60 million euros, as reported by L’Equipe. The Barça is thus joining a race in which several Premier League teams are already participating, such as Tottenham and Aston Villa.
Why is it important for Barcelona?
Balogun appears as a new alternative for the attack after a season in which he regained his best numbers, with 19 goals in 43 official games in the 2025/26 season.
What comes next?
The sports management of FC Barcelona will have to decide whether the American player goes from being a followed player to becoming a real market option in the next few days, with Tottenham already working on the signing and Aston Villa also interested. The FC Barcelona is monitoring the evolution of an operation whose price may be around 60 million euros. With FC Barcelona leading La Liga with 79 pts and 26W-1D-4L in the 2025 season, and a next match against Athletic Club on 2027-02-28, the incorporation of Balogun could be an important reinforcement for the team. Currently, FC Barcelona has Frenkie de Jong and Roony Bardghji injured, which makes the incorporation of a striker like Balogun even more important.
