Chelsea still keen on Lamine Camara despite Monaco row | OneFootball

The Blues came close to signing the Senegalese midfielder on the final day of the summer transfer window, but the deal collapsed at the last moment.

Camara remains on Chelsea’s radar

Lamine Camara could once again become one of Chelsea’s targets in the next transfer window. The 22-year-old Senegalese midfielder continues to be monitored by the London club, according to TEAMtalk.

The interest is nothing new. On the final day of the summer transfer window, the Blues came very close to reaching an agreement with AS Monaco for the player, but the move ultimately fell through when the French club reportedly changed its stance at the last minute.

The deal collapsed when everything seemed to be on track

The situation left Chelsea without the midfield reinforcement they were looking for after Enzo Fernández dropped out of the team’s immediate plans.

The outcome also reportedly caused a serious breakdown in relations between the two clubs. According to the cited report, talks between Chelsea and Monaco became particularly strained after the Principality side backed out.

A new attempt in the winter window?

Despite the falling-out, the interest in Camara reportedly has not disappeared. Chelsea could try again to sign him during the winter transfer window if they decide to strengthen their midfield once more.

For now, the Senegalese player remains at Monaco, while the London club continues to monitor him as they wait to see whether a new opportunity arises to reopen negotiations.
