Liverpool are reported to have agreed personal terms with Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara after a proposed move to Chelsea collapsed.
According to indykaila News, the 22-year-old has accepted a five-year contract with Liverpool. The Premier League club are said to be planning a move for Camara in January, with Liverpool and Monaco currently discussing the final details of the proposed transfer.
There has been no official confirmation from either club that an agreement has been completed. The report indicates, however, that negotiations have progressed beyond the initial stage, with the Senegalese midfielder’s contract terms already settled.
Camara plays in central midfield for Monaco and is a team-mate of Aleksandr Golovin. His potential move would come after the breakdown of talks over a transfer to Chelsea, although the source does not provide details of why that deal failed to go through.
The midfielder has made four appearances for Monaco in all competitions during the current season and has registered one assist. Those figures include all of his competitive outings so far this campaign.
Camara’s reported market value is €40m, according to Transfermarkt, the widely used online football valuation website. The source article does not state whether that figure reflects Monaco’s asking price or the potential fee Liverpool would pay.
Liverpool’s reported interest comes with the January transfer window identified as the proposed period for the deal. Until the clubs complete their discussions, the move remains subject to agreement between Monaco and Liverpool, despite the reported five-year contract arrangement with the player.
If completed, the transfer would see Camara leave Monaco for Liverpool after the French club became his latest reported destination following the collapse of the Chelsea move. For now, the two clubs are understood to be working through the remaining elements of the transaction.
