Folarin Balogun was among those to impress for the USMNT during this summer’s World Cup.
While the US did not have the best tournament on home soil, Balogun was a standout performer and appears to have drawn the attention of several teams from around the world.
The former Arsenal striker currently plays his club football in France with AS Monaco and has already been mooted to make a return to the Premier League this summer with the Gunners’ North London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur.
However, several more clubs are now thought to be looking at the USMNT forward.

Balogun has interest from clubs in Turkey and Saudi Arabia
Fabrizio Romano has recently taken to X/Twitter to share the update, writing about interest from Turkish team Galatasaray as well as some clubs in Saudi Arabia.
He stated: “Several clubs have called over recent days for Folarin Balogun, including Galatasaray and Saudi clubs informed on deal conditions from AS Monaco.
“Nothing concrete or advanced with Tottenham at this stage.”
Balogun ended the 2025/26 season with 19 goals and five assists in 43 matches across all competitions for Monaco.
He then went to the World Cup, scoring three goals and assisting one in four games for the USMNT.
Should he move to Saudi Arabia, he could be competing against, or perhaps even playing alongside, Cristiano Ronaldo.
