Liverpool want deal for £47m Ligue 1 sensation

Liverpool want deal for £47m Ligue 1 sensation Liverpool took the decision to offload several midfielders in summer. Curtis Jones was the headline departure - joining Inter Milan following a long pursuit by the Italian champions. Others also left - including Harvey Elliott and Stefan Bajcetic with Luca Stephenson also joining Bolton Wanderers. Those decisions left Andoni Iraola relatively light on midfielder numbers. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly the 2024/25 Prenier League champions opted against making a midfield signing. Lamine Camara's Chelsea move collapsed That means the Basque tactico is still relying on the same cast of midfield characters - but all that could change soon. Because a report from transfer specialist Ekrem Konur is claiming that the Anfield club are eyeing up a deal for £47m-rated Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara . “Liverpool are planning to strengthen their midfield in future windows, with Lamine Camara still among their targets,” the report reads. “Despite his move to Stamford Bridge falling through, Liverpool’s interest in the Senegal midfielder remains. “Last summer, Camara was valued at around €55M.” £47m-rated Camara in very good form Camara, 22, was on the verge of completing a deal to join Xabi Alonso’s side in summer only for the move to collapse at the last minute. The Senegal schemer has been in sensational form for the Principality side so far this season - and is being looked at as one of the top talents in Ligue 1 . With Alexis Mac Allister’s future under scrutiny - and Ryan Gravenberch far from his best - the time could soon come to freshen up the midfield sector with the acquisition of Camara. Lamine Camara: Situation summary Lamine Camara has established himself as one of Monaco’s key midfielders, combining intensive defensive work with composure and progression in possession. The Senegal international can operate as a No.6 or No.8, pressing aggressively, recovering loose balls and moving play forward through crisp passing, switches and selective carries. His set-piece delivery adds another creative dimension. Camara’s current form has been strong: he has started all five of Monaco’s Ligue 1 matches this season, contributing one assist in 450 league minutes as the side made a positive start. Contractually, Monaco are in a position of strength. His deal runs until June 2029, following his 2024 move from Metz, so there is no immediate pressure to sell. A reported £47m move to Chelsea collapsed late in the window, underlining both external interest and Monaco’s valuation of him.
