Monaco Open to Selling Camara to Liverpool
AS Monaco are reportedly willing to sell midfielder Lamine Camara to Liverpool in the January transfer window after Chelsea's collapsed deal.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Soccer
AS Monaco are open to selling Lamine Camara to Liverpool in the January transfer window. Chelsea pulled out of the race after their initial £47m deal fell through.
Why it matters
Monaco are looking to raise funds through player sales, and Liverpool are placed to secure a move for Camara in January. The collapse of Chelsea's bid leaves the Senegalese midfielder's next club unsettled.
Camara has completed 67 line-breaking passes with a 91.7% pass success rate across nine Ligue 1 games. His 75 duels won are the most in the division, though the reporting does not confirm a final agreed fee.

Timeline
Summer 2026 transfer window: Chelsea's initial £47m deal for Camara collapses after a medical.
January 2027 transfer window: Monaco open to selling Camara to Liverpool.
Season Trajectory
Camara's situation follows the pattern of Premier League clubs chasing Ligue 1 talent after the summer window closed without a deal. His strong Ligue 1 duel and passing numbers make him a sought-after asset for a club seeking midfield depth in the second half of the season.
Fantasy managers tracking Camara's duel and passing numbers should note that a January move to Liverpool could change his role and minutes. Any transfer would reshape his regular involvement in the match-day lineup.
The takeaway
Transfer sagas can shift quickly when a medical is completed and a deal still collapses, so readers should watch for official confirmation rather than early reports. Camara's January situation will show how Monaco balances sales against squad strength.
