Folarin Balogun, the American striker, has revealed he felt uncomfortable signing with Everton, according to AS Monaco's sporting director Thiago Scuro. VoetbalPrimeur reported that Scuro explained the situation surrounding the transfer of Balogun and Lamine Camara.

Balogun was on the verge of joining Everton, but Scuro stated that the club's medical team raised doubts about his future and health, making him feel uneasy about signing a long-term contract. This led to a change of heart, and Balogun ultimately decided not to join Everton.

Scuro also revealed that AS Monaco had an agreement with Everton on Deadline Day, but Chelsea's interest in Camara led to a series of events that ultimately resulted in the deal falling through.
