Liverpool get £40m midfielder green light as top source confirms interest

Big changes are coming to Liverpool’s midfield this summer.

Head coach Arne Slot has been relying on the same cast of characters in midfield for the last couple of seasons. And it’s clear to see the Dutchman is now getting diminishing returns from some in the ranks.

Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister have been a long way beneath their Premier League title-winning form of 2024/25.

Factor in uncertain contract scenarios for Wataru Endo and Curtis Jones and you can see why midfield will become a priority area for Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes.

Liverpool linked with Lamine Camara

One player who now looks increasingly likely to move to Anfield this summer is Lamine Camara. The 22-year-old is coming off the back of a very good individual campaign with Monaco.

But the Senegal international may be sacrificed due to the Principality side failing to qualify for European competition. Liverpool have been reported as interested in the midfield dynamo.

The asking price has been set at only £40m according to a report in Football Insider - with Camara under contract with Monaco until 2029.

And now the Anfield side’s interest in Camara has been CONFIRMED by one of the top journalists associated with the club.

Liverpool like Lamine Camara confirms Lewis Steele

Trusted reporter Lewis Steele says Liverpool “like” Camara and furthermore the midfielder “ticks a lot of boxes” for the Merseysiders.

“I was chatting to my guy in France this week and he seems to think that Liverpool do like Camara now,” Steele told Anfield Index’s Media Matters.

“He also seems to think Monaco is sort of ready for a bid from a top English team.

“I started to do a bit more digging on him and just a profile quite a lot about him ticks a lot of Liverpool traditional Liverpool boxes.”

Camara scored two goals last weekend in what could be his final Monaco game - a 5-4 defeat to Strasbourg. He joined from Metz back in 2024 and has gone from strength to strength in midfield since then.
