Lamine Camara: Liverpool linked with €35m move for Monaco’s Senegal midfielder

Liverpool are being linked with a move for Monaco central midfielder Lamine Camara, whose market value has risen to €35.00m amid uncertainty over his contract situation in the Principality.

The 22-year-old Senegal international, born on 1 January 2004 in Diouloulou (Bignona), is currently listed at Monaco with no publicly recorded contract expiry date, prompting speculation he could run down his deal and eventually move as a free agent if fresh terms are not agreed.

Camara, a right-footed central midfielder standing at 1.73m, has seen his valuation escalate rapidly over the past three years. Transfermarkt data shows his value climbing from €200,000 at Metz B in June 2023 to €10m by June 2024, before further increases at Monaco – reaching €30m by late 2025 and €35m as of 27 March 2026.

The former Casa Sports player moved from Senegal’s Génération Foot academy to Metz B in February 2023, earned promotion to Metz’s first team that summer and then joined Ligue 1 rivals Monaco on 30 July 2024. He has since established himself in France’s top flight, attracting attention from the Premier League.

While the reported probability of a Liverpool transfer is listed as “?” and no fee or agreement has been disclosed, any move would be expected to reflect his €35m valuation rather than a cut-price deal, unless his contract is close to expiry and Monaco risk losing him for nothing.

No formal offer has been confirmed and there is no indication yet that Monaco are prepared to sell, but Liverpool’s interest underlines how highly rated the Senegal midfielder has become. Should a transfer to Anfield materialise, it could mark the next step in a swiftly ascending career and test Camara’s potential on one of European football’s biggest stages.
