How Arsenal could bank transfer windfall as Pochettino eyes Manchester United deal

Arsenal stand to earn around £7m from a 17.5% sell-on clause if Balogun leaves Monaco, with Manchester United among clubs linked to the striker.

Arsenal could benefit financially from Folarin Balogun's potential departure from Monaco in January, thanks to a sell-on clause negotiated when they sold him three years ago for approximately £35m.

Balogun, 25, has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs including Manchester United, where new manager Mauricio Pochettino is planning early signings. The striker previously played under Pochettino with the USA national team and has scored 32 goals in 98 appearances for Monaco.

A proposed £40m move to Everton collapsed in the summer after a medical and deal sheet were submitted on Deadline Day, with both Monaco and Balogun confirming he is likely to leave in January.

Arsenal did not include a buy-back clause in the original sale but secured a 17.5% sell-on clause. If Balogun departs for £40m as previously proposed, Arsenal would receive approximately £7m from the transaction.
