Crystal Palace have had a verbal bid rejected by Monaco for midfielder Lamine Camara. The offer was reportedly worth more than £35m, which would have marked one of the most significant signings in the club's history.
The 22-year-old Senegal international joined Monaco from Metz in 2024 for a reported fee of 15m euros. Since his move to France, he has continued to develop his profile, having already earned 49 caps for his national team and featured at this summer's World Cup.
This move is part of a busy summer for the Eagles under new manager Pierre Sage, who has already brought in several new faces including Evann Guessand, Dwight McNeil, and Takehiro Tomiyasu. The club is currently focusing on integrating these new players before their Premier League season opener.
With the opening match against Everton approaching on 22 August, it remains to be seen whether Palace will return with an improved offer for the midfielder as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming campaign.
