Crystal Palace Opens Talks as Premier League Clubs Chase Monaco Midfielder Lamine Camara

Monaco’s roughly €50m asking price gives the club time and leverage to wait for the best offer.

Overview

  • Reports on Saturday said Crystal Palace had submitted an opening offer to AS Monaco and were negotiating for 22‑year‑old Lamine Camara.
  • Nottingham Forest were reported to be preparing an imminent formal bid as they seek a replacement after Elliot Anderson’s departure.
  • Liverpool and Manchester United are monitoring the situation but have not lodged formal offers, according to the coverage.
  • Monaco value Camara at about €50m (roughly £42–43m) and hold the player under contract until 2029, so they face no urgent need to sell.
  • Camara is a Senegal international with World Cup experience and strong per‑90 defensive and creative metrics in Ligue 1, which underpins buy interest but leaves the transfer unresolved and unconfirmed by clubs.
