Pathway cleared for USMNT star Folarin Balogun? Monaco part ways with hero forward Wissam Ben Yedder

Ligue 1

Monaco

Brest

After his contract expires on June 30, it's been announced that the 33-year-old will depart the club after five seasons with them. Only the third club he's played for in his 12-year professional career, he'll depart as a free-agent with a destination to be announced.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ben Yedder had 16 goals and two assists this season, while USMNT star Folarin Balogun only found the net eight times, but boasted five assists. It was a down season for the American, after he found the back of the net 22 times for Reims last season while on loan from Arsenal. However, with the Frenchman now out of the picture, it could be his time to shine in France.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"Everyone knows Wissam's qualities, those of an exceptional striker, with an incredible sense of the game and goal. What he did on the pitch during these five seasons will remain in the history of the Club. We wish him the best for the future," a statement from Monaco read.

WHAT MONACO SAID

The U.S. striker will represent his country in June against both Colombia and Brazil in a pair of international friendlies. Then, it will be followed by the 2024 Copa America, where he will compete for a spot in Gregg Berhalter's XI.

WHAT NEXT FOR BALOGUN?
