'Things have come to a head' – Player set for exit after Everton summer drama

Balogun's failed Everton medical last summer has left his Monaco future in doubt; Juventus now circling as the striker seeks an exit.

Folarin Balogun's transfer to Everton collapsed on deadline day after he underwent a medical with the Toffees, reportedly unhappy with his treatment during the process. The Monaco striker has since played sparingly and been excluded from the club's Conference League squad, signalling ongoing tension. Juventus are now monitoring the situation and see an opportunity to sign the 25-year-old, with fellow American Weston McKennie at Turin potentially helping to persuade him. The newspaper describes the saga as a 'medical scandal' but believes matters have reached a breaking point, making a summer exit likely.
