Liverpool are understood to have had scouts in attendance to watch one midfielder in whom they’d reportedly taken an interest during the summer transfer window.There were reports earlier in the week that Anfield chiefs had asked Monaco to delay the proposed sale of Lamine Camara to Chelsea after the two clubs had agreed a £47m deadline day deal on which the Ligue 1 club ultimately pulled the plug (Sky Sports).The Monegasques’ sporting director Thiago Scuro apparently told the 22-year-old that he would complete a major transfer ‘very soon’ in what seems an attempt to keep him sweet for this season before granting him a move elswhere in 2027.Liverpool scouts watched Camara on Friday nightAccording to Graeme Bailey for TEAMtalk, Liverpool had scouts watching at the Parc des Princes on Friday night as they kept tabs on the Monaco midfielder in their Ligue 1 clash against Paris Saint-Germain.Camara is said to have played ‘a significant role’ as his side came from behind to beat the European champions 2-1 and continue PSG’s miserable start to the campaign.The Reds remain ‘long-term admirers’ of the Senegal international and continue to monitor his situation ‘closely’.(Photo by Fran Santiago/Getty Images)Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
