Monaco Rejects €60 million Offer for Senegal Midfielder Lamine Camara
AS Monaco says even a €60 million bid is insufficient to secure Lamine Camara, despite interest from several English clubs.
AS Monaco is unwilling to part with Senegalese midfielder Lamine Camara even for a €60 million fee, according to reports. The 22-year-old has attracted interest from Premier League sides Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Crystal Palace, whose €35 million offer was already spurned. Monaco’s hierarchy appears intent on extending Camara’s stay for a third campaign under coach Felipe Luis.
He logged 31 appearances across all competitions last season, contributing three goals and four assists. The club’s strategy resembles the recent decision to retain Maghnes Akliouche for another year to allow his value to rise. Sources suggest there is no immediate pressure from the player to leave France.
Why it matters
Monaco’s refusal to sell Camara could limit transfer options for top English clubs and affect his market value.
