Liverpool could potentially have a “deal in place” to sign Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara in 2027, according to a significant new claim from journalist Lewis Steele. The form of Trey Nyoni has been a huge positive for Liverpool, as has Alexis Mac Allister’s return to his best, but that shouldn’t hide the fact that they are lacking depth in the middle of the park.

Speaking to Anfield Index [via TEAMtalk], Steele dropped a hugely encouraging update, claiming the Reds may even have a “deal in place” for the Senegalese to come in: “Lamine Camara is a name that just won’t go away and even Chelsea sources I’ve spoke[n] to believe LFC may have a deal in place with the player. “With [Dominik] Szoboszlai & [Ryan] Gravenberch picking up injuries, Trey Nyoni being brilliant but only 19, you do wonder if this is one [Julian] Ward could bring forward.” Lamine Camara: Liverpool’s No.1 transfer target?

I have never seen that in 20 years; it’s Lamine Camara. He has a level that is way, way above average.” Liverpool crave a more defence-minded midfielder, and an older alternative to the blossoming Nyoni, and Camara is arguably an unrivalled option in that respect.
