No negotiations between Monaco and English clubs over Lamine Camara at present | OneFootball

Monaco have reportedly held no negotiations with English clubs over Lamine Camara in recent days, with the window closing on Tuesday.

The Senegal midfielder, 22, shone in Sunday’s 2-0 win against Marseille, continuing a strong start to the season.

Chelsea, Liverpool and Crystal Palace have monitored him. Foot Mercato reported on Monday that he is not a priority for Chelsea, while L’Équipe said Manu Koné ranks ahead of him for the Blues.

There have been talks between English executives and the player’s entourage in recent days. Coach Filipe Luis has said Monaco want to keep him, and only an offer impossible to refuse could change that.

Folarin Balogun was in the stands on Sunday and, having not rejoined full group training since the World Cup, is seen as likelier to leave than Camara. Everton are said to have submitted a 40 million euros bid. With Paris Brunner emerging, plus Matthis Abline and Mika Biereth available, Monaco appear well stocked in attack and need sales to strengthen elsewhere.

Thilo Kehrer has not featured in Filipe Luis’s plans, playing one minute at Le Havre, and the club were open to an exit before the 20:00 deadline. He is not expected to depart and should remain with Monaco beyond the window.
