**One star player is convinced he'll agree a move to Liverpool. This is despite completing a medical with one of the Reds' fierce rivals.**
We were eager for Liverpool to sign a defensive midfielder this summer. That didn't happen, unfortunately, and now the middle of the pitch remains an incredible opportunity for opposing teams.

That's certainly the feeling coming out of the opening two games. Both Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest were able to counter almost at will through the middle. Liverpool simply didn't address it as a problem.
But it sounds as though they _might_. Or at least, they're hoping to and now a genuinely brilliant midfielder is convinced he can secure a move in January.

That's according to [IndyKaila](https://x.com/indykaila/status/2095433054240092487), who has been bang on the money for most things this summer. He reports exclusively that Lamine Camara is eager to move to Liverpool and is 'convinced' of a January transfer.
This comes after Liverpool made it known to AS Monaco that they were willing to meet their asking price in 2027. Monaco had actually agreed a deal with Chelsea when the Reds made their call - and that collapsed the deal with the Blues.
Camara even went as far as a medical with Chelsea, apparently, before things went south. Liverpool are now in the driving seat to sign him and that's something we're thrilled about.
The Senegal star is one of the brightest defensive midfielders in European football and feels like the ideal addition to Liverpool's ranks. Really, there's unlikely to be a better transfer they can make in terms of a transformative effect.
So we'll cross our fingers on this one. Camara is someone we're very, very eager to see join Liverpool and the Reds are certainly pushing to make it happen. We'll just have to wait and see how 2027 goes.
But Camara will be waiting.
