A proposed transfer of U.S. striker Folarin Balogun to Everton fell through due to concerns over his health. Monaco's sporting director, Thiago Scuro, revealed that Balogun pulled out of the deal after Everton raised doubts about his health following a medical check.

The medical examination took place on Tuesday afternoon, and Everton contacted Monaco with questions about the results just three hours later. The transfer, reportedly worth 40 million pounds, was set to be completed before the summer transfer window deadline. However, Balogun's discomfort with Everton's concerns led to the deal's collapse.

Further details about the aborted transfer are available from Monaco's sporting director, who provided a step-by-step account of the events. The transfer window's deadline was looming, with only four hours left when Everton first raised their concerns.
