Folarin Balogun’s planned move to Everton does not go through after the USMNT striker decides against the transfer. Reports indicate the deal reaches a late stage, with Balogun undergoing a medical in England before the decision is made to stop the move.

Both outlets describe the process as progressing, but differ slightly in how they frame the turning point. The Free Malaysia Today report emphasizes that the move collapses after the medical and a subsequent decision not to proceed. The Athletic (NYT) similarly says Balogun changes his mind and walks away from the agreement, without detailing further reasons. Both accounts agree that the failure of the transfer is driven by Balogun’s choice rather than an announced breach or rejection by Everton.

No new club destination is reported in the provided sources, and the underlying terms of the halted deal are not described.
