Fabrizio Romano has suggested that Monaco are planning to make a fresh move for Folarin Balogun. This after Arsenal rejected their opening bid for the striker on Monday.
Romano has provided the update on social media. This is after the Gunners turned down the offer from the Ligue 1 side. They have made the 22-year-old a top target this summer as they look to clinch the title again.
Monaco set to return with a 2nd bid for Folarin Balogun
Journalist Ben Jacobs has previously suggested that Arsenal want £45 million for Folarin Balogun. But it would appear that Monaco did not meet those demands. This is with their opening bid this week.
Fabrizio Romano notes that the Principality club are set to make an improved offer for Folarin Balogun. And it would appear with both Monaco and Inter Milan keen to resolve the situation. That is in this week itself. That the new bid could be made in the coming days by any of the 2 clubs.
He added that Monaco have earmarked the Arsenal starlet as their top target for up front. This comes after losing Breel Embolo to a serious injury.
He is an ‘incredible‘ talent. But he is also unproven in the Premier League so far. And Sunday’s Community Shield win proved that Arsenal have the depth to cope. That is even with his departure.
Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard can both fill in and provide competition for Eddie Nketiah. This is while Gabriel Jesus is sidelined.
And Balogun can get his career properly up and running after probably just coming through. That is at the wrong time to play the role he wants at Arsenal.
