Monaco weigh up exits for Ansu Fati and Balogun in the next window
Three games without a win in Ligue 1 have pushed Monaco into a squad review, with the club weighing up the futures of Ansu Fati, signed for 11 million euros, and Balogun, who has played 71 minutes in four games this season.

Três jogos sem ganhar na Ligue 1 bastaram para o Monaco abrir a revisão do elenco. O jornal L'Équipe aponta que o clube do Principado estuda o futuro de dois atacantes na janela de janeiro: o espanhol Ansu Fati e o americano Folarin Balogun.
Nos últimos três jogos, o time do Principado empatou com o Lille (1 a 1), perdeu para o Lorient (0 a 1) e empatou com o Toulouse (2 a 2). Antes de PSG e Lyon entrarem em campo nesta segunda, o Monaco era o terceiro colocado.
O primeiro alerta é físico. Ansu Fati, que já tinha ficado fora das sete primeiras partidas da temporada por causa da panturrilha, voltou a se lesionar — e o jornal questiona se o espanhol ainda pode ser reforço relevante no longo prazo. Contratado em definitivo do Barcelona por 11 milhões de euros na janela do meio do ano, ele deixa dúvidas sobre a regularidade, e uma saída imediata dificilmente devolveria o investimento.
O segundo nome é Balogun. O americano recusou o Everton na janela anterior e entrou em campo apenas quatro vezes nesta temporada, com 71 minutos somados e nenhuma partida como titular com Filipe Luís.
"Balo continua sendo um jogador muito importante", afirmou o treinador.
Ainda assim, o clube precisa vender para reorganizar o elenco, e a saída do americano é vista como possível diante do pouco espaço e de um valor de mercado na casa dos 50 milhões de euros.
O mesmo raciocínio vale para Mika Biereth, que praticamente sumiu dos planos e nem foi relacionado para o duelo com o Lille.
