Balogun emerged as one of the United States' standout performers during the tournament, scoring three goals for his country who were knocked out by Belgium in the Round of 16.
The former Arsenal star became the centre of attention when he was dismissed for serious foul play against Bosnia-Herzegovina only for FIFA to reverse the ban following a phone call with President Donald Trump.
Despite the controversy, the Monaco striker has now become the first footballer to sign directly with LeBron James' agency Klutch Sports as James' long-time business partner Rich Paul spoke on the incredible move.
"Folarin Balogun is one of the most talented and influential players in global football today," Paul said, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.
"His relentless ambition and cultural impact represent the standard of excellence we hope to continue to bring to the sport. We are incredibly proud to welcome him to Klutch and excited about everything we can build together."
Balogun was previously represented by UK-based Elite Project Group and the move sees him join the likes of Malik Tillman, Gio Reyna, Kai Havertz and Mohammed Kudus, as well as several coaches who are represented by Klutch after they acquired European agency ROOF.
The 25 year old had his most fruitful campaign in 2025-2026, scoring 19 goals in 43 matches which, alongside his World Cup performances, had led to major interest from top sides.
