Liverpool’s interest in AS Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara was one of the more notable transfer points discussed by Lewis Steele and Dave Davis on Anfield Index’s Media Matters.

The conversation came alongside discussion of Aurelien Tchouameni, with Davis describing Camara as a player whose numbers had attracted attention. The transcript references Camara being “top for possession one, top for tackles made” and “top for tackles made and various articles that way”.

Steele then explained why he viewed the Lamine Camara situation differently from some of the other midfield names being discussed.

Steele said: “I think Lamine Camara seems more likely at the moment just based on the fact that I think that he was offered to the club in the last week of the window and Liverpool decided not to budge on it.”

That provided the main point of the discussion. According to Steele, Liverpool had an opportunity to make a move before the window closed but chose not to proceed.

“I’m not really sure why because they definitely had a bit of money left in the tank,” Steele added.

He suggested one possible explanation was that Liverpool had already settled on their squad and had chosen to prioritise other areas.

“I think maybe they just settled on the squad that they were going to have at that point and they were putting all their eggs in the forward basket,” Steele said.
