Milan’s interest in Stade Reims striker Folarin Balogun is continuing to grow and Arsenal have a minimum price in mind for the New York-born striker.
The 21-year-old, who has represented England at youth level, was sent to France on loan by the Gunners last summer, where he’s emerged as one of the most exciting young forwards in Europe.
Balogun has been on fire for Reims this season, scoring 18 goals in 30 Ligue 1 appearances, but is unlikely to break into Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal squad for next season, with Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah ahead of him in the pecking order.
As detailed by Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, Arsenal are open to selling Balogun in the summer and want no less than €30m for the 21-year-old, who is increasingly impressing Milan.
The Rossoneri have sent scouts to follow the player on several occasions over the last few months and they believe he’d be a perfect fit for Stefano Pioli’s squad.
RB Leipzig are also interested in signing Balogun and have already contacted his entourage to sound out a possible deal.
