Real Madrid has begun the race for Lamine Camara, the rising star of AS Monaco. Premier League teams such as Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur are also eyeing the 21-year-old Senegalese midfielder.
Camara has been fantastic this year on the field. For Monaco, he has two goals and six assists in 31 games across all competitions. For any elite team, his versatility makes him a valuable asset able to contribute on both the defensive and attacking sides of the field.
Camara received the CAF Young Player of the Year award in December 2024. This award celebrates his great contributions to both the country and the club.
Emphasizing his ability to shine at the top level, his performances have been likened to French World Cup star N’Golo Kanté.
Camara has been appealing to the Tottenham Hotspur. The club regards him as a possible long-term substitute for Yves Bissouma, who could leave in the next transfer window. Having reviewed Camara in great detail, Spurs are thinking of a formal proposal.
If a about €50 million bid is received, AS Monaco is reportedly willing to discuss Camara’s transfer. This valuation shows the fierce competition for his signature and his rising fame.
Real Madrid says Camara fits with their program of spending on young talents. However, there is stiff competition for midfield spots. Since he needs constant playing time to keep developing, this might affect Camara’s thinking.
Liverpool is also keeping an eye on Camara’s circumstances. Their midfield is already crowded however and this could restrict his chances of starting.
Camara’s future remains uncertain, heading close to the summer transfer window. His performances have guaranteed that he would be a key player in transfer negotiations, with many top clubs competing to sign him.
Fans as well as analysts will be eager to see where next season this potential talent will end up.
