Folarin Balogun uncertainty delays Monaco’s moves for Farès Ghedjemis and Erik Lira

According to L'Équipe, with Folarin Balogun’s planned departure still on hold, Monaco, in need of funds, have paused their most advanced recruitment moves.

The deals affected concern Farès Ghedjemis and Erik Lira.

Balogun has been absent from the first two matchday squads of the season, against Zabrze and Le Havre.

He also missed the final sessions of the week and is not expected to take part when the group reconvenes on Tuesday.

The American forward continues to prepare his return to action, working separately at the performance centre in La Turbie. The club still expect an exit before the transfer window closes.
