Juventus have identified Folarin Balogun as a potential alternative to Randal Kolo Muani as they search for a new centre-forward, Football Italia understands.
The Juventus hierarchy have been pursuing a deal for Randal Kolo Muani throughout the summer, but with negotiations proving complex, they have turned their attention to other targets. Balogun, the former Arsenal striker now at Monaco, has now been added to that list.
Balogun's potential Serie A switch
The 25-year-old has impressed since leaving Arsenal for Monaco in 2023, establishing himself as a prolific scorer in Ligue 1. His pace and eye for goal appeal to Juventus, who see him as a more attainable option compared to the high-cost Kolo Muani pursuit.
While no formal offer has been made, sources indicate that Juventus are exploring the feasibility of a deal. Balogun, who represents the United States at international level, could be open to a move to Serie A.
Juventus are keen to bolster their attacking ranks after a season that saw over-reliance on Dusan Vlahovic. The club's management is working on multiple fronts to ensure they have a new striker in place before the start of the new campaign.
