Liverpool reach agreement with Lamine Camara ahead of January move

Liverpool have reached an agreement with Senegalese Lamine Camara, a midfielder for AS Monaco, ahead of a potential transfer during the January transfer window, according to reports. The English club is prepared to meet the financial demands of the French team.

Lamine Camara was close to joining Chelsea last summer for €55 million, but the deal fell through at the last moment, before Liverpool entered the race for his signature, especially with the London club nearing a deal for Alex Scott of AFC Bournemouth.

TEAMtalk has reported that injuries to Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch may push Liverpool to accelerate the deal.

AS Monaco have raised their demands for Lamine Camara, 22, to €70 million, equivalent to £58.5 million, with Liverpool seemingly ready to pay the amount.

TEAMtalk previously reported that Liverpool made contact with the player's agents in October, while Football Insider stated that AS Monaco are willing to agree to his departure in January, should his financial demands be met.
