Chelsea are considering a move for Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara if talks over Enzo Fernández’s exit progress further, with reports putting the Senegal international’s price around €60 million.
Camara emerges as a leading option
The 22-year-old has become one of the names under discussion at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea look at ways to fill a potential gap in midfield. Camara, who impressed at Metz before moving to Monaco, has built a reputation as a player who can contribute in both defensive and possession phases.
His ball-winning, coverage of central areas, physical presence and quick ball progression have made him one of Ligue 1’s more closely watched young midfielders.
Other clubs are monitoring the situation
Chelsea are not alone in tracking him. Liverpool are also following Camara, while he has previously been linked with other Premier League sides, including Manchester United.
Monaco are understood to value him highly and have already turned down a €50 million offer from Crystal Palace, according to reports.
The wider picture is being shaped by Fernández’s situation, with multiple sources saying negotiations between Chelsea and Manchester City have advanced over a possible move for the Argentina midfielder. Any deal could trigger a late-window chain reaction in midfield recruitment.
