Three-way tussle for Lamine Camara as Chelsea and Palace circle | OneFootball

AS Monaco face a late-window fight to keep Lamine Camara, with Premier League clubs circling and a departure still possible before one September. Camara has impressed early this season but remains a Monaco player for now.

According to Nice-Matin, Chelsea appear the most active in recent hours, with Liverpool still attentive, and discussions have taken place over the 22-year-old. A tangible step forward is said to have occurred recently, though no deal is in place, any move to London depends on a midfield exit, and there has been little or no movement in recent hours.

Crystal Palace retain an interest in the midfielder. An initial offer worth about €35 million fell short, and the London club could table a new €50 million bid.

Filipe Luis started Camara in Monaco’s first three competitive matches, and his profile continues to appeal in England.

Monaco’s end to the window is also shaped by Folarin Balogun. The American has been training alone since returning from the World Cup, and bids to date have not convinced the hierarchy.

After Friday’s Conference League draw in Monaco, Thiago Scuro said it was important to complete one more transfer. He added that Monaco are ready to reduce the wage bill in line with their DNCG commitment.
