FC Bayern is apparently considering another candidate for the midfield. According to transfer insider Ekrem Konur, Lamine Camara of AS Monaco is on the German record champion’s transfer shortlist.

However, competition for the midfielder is fierce: Chelsea FC and Liverpool FC are also said to be keeping a close eye on the Senegalese national team player.

According to Konur, the three top European clubs are closely monitoring the midfielder’s development and evaluating potential reinforcements for the center of the field. Camara is therefore considered an interesting candidate for upcoming transfer windows. However, no concrete negotiations or an offer from FC Bayern have been reported so far.

The 22-year-old is under contract with AS Monaco and has established himself as a defensive midfielder in recent years. In the summer of 2024, he transferred from FC Metz to the French first-division club, where he signed a contract running through June 2029.

Camara stands out above all for his stamina, his tackling ability, and his skills in building up play. He is also a regular on the Senegal national team. He has made twelve competitive appearances for Monaco this season, contributing two goals and one assist.

Transfer fell through on deadline day

The fact that the Munich club has been keeping an eye on the 22-year-old is not entirely new. Reports of Bayern Munich’s interest surfaced as early as August. In addition to the record champions, numerous clubs are said to have expressed interest in the midfielder over the summer.

A €55 million move to Chelsea FC was reportedly already a done deal, but it fell through on deadline day, and Camara remained in Monaco. Nevertheless, the Senegalese international still sees a transfer as a real possibility and is willing to work hard to make it happen.

“If no other opportunity comes along, it’s because I’ve given up or haven’t worked hard enough. Soccer moves fast, and maybe other opportunities will arise,” Camara explained.

For Bayern, this raises the question of whether their general interest will actually turn into a concrete move. The Munich midfield already features three top-level players in Kimmich, Pavlovic, and Bischof. Should the record champions nevertheless wish to sign another central midfielder, Camara would have to fit into the plan both on the field and financially.
