Liverpool 'deal in place' for £58.5m first January signing
Liverpool have reportedly forged an agreement with Monaco star Lamine Camara after learning a second transfer target is likely to join Chelsea.
Camara himself came close to signing for Chelsea on summer deadline day. The Blues agreed a €55million (then £47m) deal with Monaco and a six-year contract with the midfielder.
However, Monaco decided late on deadline day they would rather sell Folarin Balogun to Everton, which left Chelsea furious.
Balogun had a change of heart and opted against joining Everton, which meant both the striker and Camara surprisingly ended up staying at Monaco.
Following the closure of the summer window, Liverpool joined Chelsea in pursuing Camara.
