According to journalist Lewis Steele (Daily Mail), Liverpool may already have an agreement to sign Senegalese midfielder Lamine Camara, whose transfer to Chelsea was cancelled by Monaco last summer.
Lamine Camara’s future could be decided in the Premier League. According to journalist Lewis Steele (Daily Mail), cited by Tribuna and Anfield Index, Liverpool may already have an agreement in place with AS Monaco to sign the Senegalese midfielder. It is a rumour, one that keeps coming back with insistence as the winter transfer window approaches.
The story is not new. Last summer, Camara was on the verge of joining Chelsea, before Monaco cancelled the transfer at the last minute, Tribuna reports. Sources at Chelsea also believe Liverpool have done a lot of groundwork on the case, according to OneFootball/Anfield Index.
Steele: “the Camara thing just won’t go away”
In comments reported by OneFootball/Anfield Index, Lewis Steele stresses that the trail persists. “I think the Camara thing is one that just won’t go away and everyone you speak to seems to think Liverpool are in for him,” said the Daily Mail journalist.
A phrase that sums up the feeling around the case, without confirming a transfer. At this stage, no signing has been announced, and the sources cited by Tribuna and OneFootball speak of a potential agreement, not a completed deal.
Liverpool targeting a midfielder for 2027
According to Tribuna, Liverpool intend to sign a new midfielder in 2027, either in January or the following summer. The deadline leaves room, but injuries to Szoboszlai and Gravenberch could push the club to bring the operation forward, Tribuna and OneFootball indicate.
In that context, Camara’s profile is attractive. The Senegalese international already plays for Monaco. His aborted transfer to Chelsea last summer is a reminder of the interest he generated in the Premier League.
Camara in the squad for Sudan
In the meantime, Lamine Camara is in the Senegal squad. The Monaco midfielder is included in Patrick Vieira’s list for Senegal – Sudan on 12 November 2026, foot-africa.net reports. An international fixture that comes before the winter transfer window, which opens in January 2027.
For now, nothing has been made official. The January 2027 transfer window remains the deadline mentioned by Tribuna for a possible midfield signing by Liverpool.
