Arsenal might find it complicated to try and sell striker Folarin Balogun this summer.
Journalist Ryan Taylorwas speakingto Give Me Sport about the young forward’s future.
The Gunners look set to be one of the biggest spєɴԀing teams in the Premier League in this transfer window.
They’ve already spent£65mbringing inKai Havertzfrom London rivals Chelsea.
Declan Riceis expected to sign very soon for a Premier League record transfer fee for a British player of£100m.
DefєɴԀerJurrien Timberwon’t be cheap either and he’s likely to cost around£38.5m.
Arsenal’sreturn to the Champions League has given them more flexibility in the transfer window.
However, they’ll also be looking to maximise any sales this summer to help balance the books.
They’ve already sold Granit Xhaka for£21.5mwhile the likes of Thomas Partey arealso linkedwith a move away from the club.
However, Arsenal knowFolarin Balogunmight be the most prized asset they can sell this summer, although a Ԁєɑł may be complicated.
That’s because he had such a good season out on loan last year that they’re now demanding a large sum for a player who has never proven himself in the Premier League.
Arsenal Ԁєɑł to sell Balogun complicated
Speaking to Give Me Sport about the£32,000-a-weekstriker,Taylor said: “They are looking at him, from what I understand. I’ve had conversations about Balogun’s future.
“There are a lot of clubs informed on his situation. Palace are one, Inter Milan, Monaco, Marseille, Leipzig, AC Milan, but I think ultimately, the price tag’s going to prove complicated for a lot of these clubs because Arsenal know he’s a really talented player.”
Given his place in the Arsenal pecking order, allowing Balogun to leave this summer makes sense.
His stock is incredibly high right now and he’s got no intention of sitting on the bench at Arsenal next season.
Arsenal ɾєρօɾτedly want£50mfor Balogun which is what will make any Ԁєɑł for him complicated.
There’s likely to be some room for negotiating, but ultimately his home-grown status and age make him very valuable.
