[^1]\n\nFolarin Balogun, a 25-year-old American striker, failed his medical tests with Everton, which halted the operation near the closing of FIFA's Transfer Matching System (TMS), the electronic platform that registers and authorizes international player transfers. [^2]\n\nAlan Mozo has been confirmed as a new player for Cruz Azul in the Liga MX. [^3]\n\nCruz Azul had agreed with AS Monaco on a transfer fee of 9.2 million dollars fixed plus variables for Erik Lira, with Cruz Azul retaining 20 percent of a future resale.
