According to Football Insider, Newcastle United could be handed a boost in their pursuit of Lamine Camara ahead of the summer. Monaco could be open to selling the 22-year-old Senegalese international for the right offer, following the midfielder’s growth into a top-quality performer.
Lamine Camara has come to the fore ever since his move to AS Monaco from FC Metz two years ago. The French giants paid around the £13 million mark to secure one of the highly-rated young prospects at the time, and now they could be in line to make a massive profit.
The Ligue 1 giants have been known to sell their best performers as part of their long-standing business model, which also exemplifies their expertise in developing many top-quality players. Camara falls into that category and could be sold for a handsome profit if AS Monaco were to receive good offers.
Newcastle United have a formidable midfield setup, but they are reportedly in danger of losing both Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali. The duo are bona fide starters, and losing them would require the club to sign top-notch replacements. The Magpies are ready to compete for players like Elliott Anderson, their former player, but face a challenging prospect.
Given the level of competition for Anderson, others like Felix Nmecha are seen as an alternative. Newcastle United’s interest in Lamine Camara could be in that regard, too, as the 22-year-old midfielder could be a solid acquisition at a much cheaper rate than some of the other targets they are linked with.
Newcastle United have regularly scouted Camara over the last few weeks and months, which indicates their interest in the midfielder is rather concrete. The idea of luring the Senegalese midfielder to kick-start his career in the Premier League might work in the Magpies’ favour, but they must act fast.
Lamine Camara might also angle for a club that is in the Champions League, but Newcastle United are an attractive enough prospect for him to take them seriously. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can agree on a reasonable fee that suits all parties, as well as convince the 22-year-old AS Monaco midfielder to make the move to the North of England.
