Why Balogun's move collapsed to leave Everton, Chelsea and Monaco upset

Sky Sports News takes you inside why Folarin Balogun's move to Everton collapsed on Deadline Day to leave the Toffees, Chelsea and Monaco upset; before Balogun's decision, Monaco had pulled the plug on a deal for midfielder Lamine Camara to join Chelsea as their Enzo Fernandez replacement

The biggest controversy of the summer transfer window happened on Deadline Day, involving three clubs and two players.

Chelsea , Everton and Monaco ended up very frustrated as Folarin Balogun opted against joining Everton at the last minute after Monaco had earlier pulled out of a deal to sell Lamine Camara to Chelsea, who wanted the midfielder as their Enzo Fernandez replacement.

The two Premier League sides were particularly left fuming about the situation.

Here, Sky Sports News takes you inside why both deals collapsed on a dramatic end to Deadline Day…

Monaco needed to make a sale to help resolve a debt issue, while Everton needed a striker.

Balogun became a solution for both parties, and a £40m agreement was reached - but then came the first issue with the deal.

There was a problem with the USA international's medical after Everton found evidence of an injury, which Monaco and the player refuted, claiming he was fit to play immediately.

With the 11pm deadline approaching, Everton decided to proceed with the transfer but attempted to renegotiate the deal on cheaper terms in case the injury left him unable to play.

The club-to-club deal became much more performance-related, with clauses inserted that meant Monaco would get less money if Balogun could not play.

Crucially, it is understood nothing changed with Balogun's personal terms.

Amid a renegotiation of the Balogun deal, Chelsea reached an agreement with Monaco to sign midfielder Camara as a replacement for Fernandez, who was set to join Manchester City in a joint-British record £125m deal.

Meanwhile, Everton made a loan offer for Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee , which was rejected.

Sky Sports News understands Everton offered to pay a total fee of around £10m for Zirkzee, which included his wages for the season and a loan fee.
