Monaco ‘asked for’ €70m in Chelsea talks for Lamine Camara

Monaco set a €70m price for Lamine Camara, 22, during talks with Chelsea, and the Premier League club declined to match it, according to Romain Molina.

Sporting director Thiago Scuro insisted the Senegalese international’s valuation be met in full, a stance that ended negotiations.

The deal now appears unlikely to go through before the transfer window closes.

Chelsea had offers of €45m and €50m rejected by the Côte d’Azur club.

With pursuits of Manu Koné, 25, and Camara faltering, Chelsea look set to start the season without a replacement for Enzo Fernández, 25. The Argentina midfielder is in the process of completing a move to Manchester City.
