Chelsea Bid Rejected For Energetic Midfielder
Bad News for Blues
According to Ligue 1 reporter Fabrice Hawkins, the Premier League team have had a bid rejected for AS Monaco man Lamine Camara. The midfielder is a deeper-lying player who could add to the depth in the middle of the park but the latest is that his team do “not seem willing” to part with him after a relatively low bid of only £43 million.
While the French side don’t want to sell the midfielder, there is still time for the Blues to increase their offer or for the player to push for a move. If this doesn’t come to fruition, Chelsea may be stuck bidding late for some other targets or be left one body short in the centre of the pitch until January.
The Last Word
Allowing the Fernandez saga to run so late was always going to cause some issues for the Club World Cup holders. With a bid rejected for Camara so swiftly, they will either have to pay extra for the Senegal international or move on to newer targets. Described as a player who offers “proactive interception and technical security”, his mix of defensive and on-ball skills made him a good gamble to add to the core of Moises Caicedo, Reece James, Romeo Lavia, and Valentin Barco.
This one is sure to run to the end of the window as the big money paid for the Argentine could facilitate a big splash into the market for a key target if this deal doesn’t come to fruition.
