Chelsea have reportedly reached a final decision to move on from AS Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara, potentially giving Liverpool a clear path to complete a permanent transfer. Camara was close to joining Chelsea in the summer transfer window after agreements were reached to replace Enzo Fernandez, who left for Manchester City for £125m, but Monaco collapsed the move on deadline day.

According to journalist Pete O'Rourke, Chelsea have now shifted focus to Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott as their priority January signing. Liverpool also retain interest in both Camara and Scott, with reports designating the Reds as frontrunners to sign the Senegal international in 2027.
