Monaco striker, Folarin Balogun, has revealed why his proposed move to Premier League club Everton collapsed during the summer transfer window.
Balogun was reportedly close to returning to England after previously playing for Arsenal.
However, the 25-year-old, speaking in an interview with BBC Sport, said Everton changed the terms of the contract at the last minute, making him uncomfortable with proceeding with the deal.
According to him, he travelled to Everton with an agreed contract, but the terms were different by the time he was leaving.
“My point of view was very clear. I haven’t said anything publicly, but I flew to Everton, obviously, with a set contract. And then by the time I left, the contract was changed,” Balogun said.
He added that the changes ultimately influenced his decision not to sign for the club.
“So, that was the situation, in short. The contract was changed, and then in the end, I didn’t feel comfortable to sign,” he stated.
