Romano says Liverpool could still chase Monaco midfielder but Chelsea leads the race

Fabrizio Romano reported that Liverpool once entertained the idea of signing Lamine Camara from AS Monaco, but no concrete progress has been made since July. Recent updates suggest Chelsea is the frontrunner, with Monaco confirming the English club's serious interest. Romano cautioned that the transfer market remains unpredictable, especially as the deadline approaches, and Liverpool have not committed to acquiring a new midfielder.

He also highlighted that Liverpool's need for a defensive midfielder has grown after recent defensive lapses. Despite the speculation, the Reds are keeping options open while focusing on other priorities. Should Chelsea's bid falter, Liverpool could still intervene, but the odds appear slim.
