September 2nd 2026, 8:23 (Photo by Jan Kruger/Getty Images) Liverpool reportedly had a part to play in one of the most dramatic stories of transfer deadline day as ar rival Premier League club have been left fuming.There wasn’t exactly a flurry of activity at Anfield on Tuesday, with the only signing being that of Belgian goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans, who’ll remain with Genk on loan this season. There were a handful of late loan exits (including Harvey Elliott to Valencia), while Stefan Bajcetic joined Celta Vigo on a permanent deal.The Reds didn’t make any midfield additions on deadline day, but there’s one such player they seemingly have in mind for a future transfer.Liverpool involved in Lamine Camara deadline day dramaOne of the big soap operas yesterday involved Lamine Camara, for whom Chelsea had an initial £38.5 bid rejected before later agreeing a £47m deal for the Monaco midfielder, who was given permission to complete a medical.However, after then agreeing to sell Folarin Balogun to Everton (a move which later collapsed), the Ligue 1 club backed out of the deal to sell the Senegal international, which left Stamford Bridge chiefs raging (Sky Sports).
The Reds hadn’t intended to sign the 22-year-old on deadline day but did signal their intention to the player and his club that they could come back in for him next year if he didn’t join Chelsea. Add us as a preferred source on Google to your favourites list for news you can trust Liverpool could’ve done with signing Camara straight away The cold truth is that Liverpool could’ve done with signing Camara straight away, given their much-discussed defensive midfield issues and a reduction in bodies in the middle of the park since the start of the summer.
By the time Liverpool are next able to sign Camara in January, that weakness in the side mightn’t have been solved – if anything, it could be exacerbated, with our season suffering as a result. We just hope that doesn’t come too late for the sake of the Reds’ campaign.
