Liverpool have reopened negotiations with Monaco playmaker Lamine Camara ahead of the January transfer window. The 22-year-old Senegal international had a proposed summer move to Chelsea collapse, but the Merseyside club now lead the pursuit. Chelsea have shifted their attention to Bournemouth's Alex Scott instead.
Camara has started 10 of Monaco's 12 Ligue 1 matches this season, scoring twice and providing an assist as the club sits fourth in the standings. Monaco manager Filipe Luis praised the midfielder's tireless work rate and athleticism. Liverpool scouts view him as well-suited to the physical intensity of English football.
Camara follows several Senegal teammates already in the Premier League, including Nicolas Jackson and Ibrahim Mbaye at Aston Villa. A January deal remains uncertain, as Monaco may resist selling mid-season while pursuing Champions League qualification. Liverpool are prepared to revisit the move in summer if needed.
