The Story in 60 Seconds

Monaco striker Folarin Balogun could reportedly receive an offer to join Juventus next summer following the collapse of his summer transfer to Everton. Reports from Italy indicate that Juventus are considering a permanent move for the 25-year-old as concerns grow over loan signing Nick Woltemade, who has scored only one goal this season and is expected to return to Newcastle United.

Balogun's proposed £40 million move to Everton collapsed on deadline day due to medical complications and a last-minute change of heart. The failed move left Everton manager David Moyes with limited attacking options, while Balogun has since struggled for playing time at Monaco, making just one league appearance and missing out on their European squad.
