Transfer news – PSG target Monaco striker to replace Ramos

The 2026 summer transfer window is here, so rumors around Paris Saint-Germain are piling up. This time, it is Foot Mercato reporting interest in Folarin Balogun, the 24-year-old AS Monaco and United States striker, as a replacement for Gonçalo Ramos (the 25-year-old forward who left for AC Milan). A second Monaco lead after Maghnes Akliouche (the 24-year-old attacking midfielder/winger).

“Folarin Balogun’s profile is emerging insistently.”

“On the wings, the profiles of Yan Diomandé and Maghnes Akliouche are unanimously appreciated for bringing pace and drive. But at the same time, the signing of a new central striker to replace the Portuguese number nine is also being seriously considered. To fill this gap at the tip of the attack, Luis Campos and the Paris hierarchy have drawn up a shortlist featuring several attractive names. Among them, Folarin Balogun’s profile is emerging insistently.

“the door is not closed to a departure.”

“Nevertheless, while Paris Saint-Germain’s interest is real, it should be emphasized that absolutely no official contact has yet been established between the Paris management and their Monaco counterparts regarding this matter. Paris is closely monitoring the player’s situation, but has not yet made any formal approach to open negotiations. On the side of the Principality club, the door is not closed to a departure for their American striker.”

It is a lead that some had already mentioned in recent days, without any particular sign. This rumor is a little something, but it is still distant. There is no confirmation, nor any offer. It is simply an option, which may very well not come to fruition. PSG, Balogun and Monaco may have other priorities.
