Chelsea fail in their pursuit of Monaco’s Lamine Camara

Chelsea fail in their pursuit of Monaco’s Lamine Camara Lamine Camara (22) will remain at AS Monaco this summer after his proposed move to Chelsea fell through, according to Sacha Tavolieri . The Senegalese international midfielder had been willing to join the Premier League club, with negotiations between the Blues and the Ligue 1 club having made significant progress in recent days. However, issues at the heart of the deal prevented the remaining details from being finalised, meaning a complete agreement could not be reached before the transfer deadline. Camara denied Chelsea move Camara had emerged as a major target for Chelsea, who were looking to strengthen their midfield during the final stages of the window. The Blues had reportedly submitted a €45m offer for the 22-year-old, but Les Monégasques rejected the proposal despite the player’s desire to make the move. The midfielder will now remain in Ligue 1 after a failure to strike an agreement with the Premier League and the transfer deadline approaching. GFFN | Liam Wraith
