Chelsea submitted a €45 million package bid to AS Monaco for midfielder Lamine Camara, but Monaco rejected it as too low and wants €55-60 million with add-ons. The 22-year-old international is keen on the move to Stamford Bridge, and talks continue despite the gap.
This pursuit stands apart from Enzo Fernández's talks with Manchester City, acting as separate contingency planning amid Chelsea's busy deadline day scouting of other targets like Roma's Manu Koné.
