Lamine Camara celebrating for Monaco
Chelsea have submitted an offer of €45 million (£38.5m) to sign Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.
The Blues are in the market for a midfielder as they search for a potential replacement for Enzo Fernandez, who is potentially heading to Manchester City before the deadline.
The Argentinian international was omitted from Chelsea's squad to face Brighton in the Premier League at the weekend due to ongoing speculation surrounding his future.
Chelsea are working on bringing in a new midfielder in case of Enzo's departure, with Manchester City pushing to secure his signature.
Chelsea have been linked to both Monaco's Camara and Roma midfielder Manu Kone in recent days.
According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Chelsea have submitted a €45 million (£38.5m) offer to sign Monaco midfielder Camara.
Monaco are hoping to receive closer to €55 million to €60 million, including add-ons, to allow Camara to depart.
GIVEMESPORT understands that a move for Roma midfielder Manu Kone is unlikely, as manager Gian Piero Gasperini has blocked an exit.
It's understood that Camara is open to moving to Stamford Bridge this summer, with talks ongoing after Chelsea's offer.
