The FC Barcelona has initiated contacts to evaluate the signing of Lamine Camara, a 22-year-old midfielder from AS Monaco, during this summer. The Barcelona transfer market has radically changed.

The technical secretariat is seeking the addition of the Senegalese midfielder, valued at 40 million euros, to replace the absence of Frenkie de Jong, who will be sidelined for several weeks due to a rupture of the internal lateral ligament of his right knee.

The medical scope of Frenkie de Jong's injury

Additional tests by the medical services of FC Barcelona have confirmed that Frenkie de Jong is suffering from an articular condition in his right knee, exacerbated after playing in the 2026 World Cup. The Dutch international will undergo conservative treatment without surgery, missing the start of the preseason and the first official matches of the competition.

This absence affects the plans of Hansi Flick, adding a new setback to the midfielder's medical history following ankle problems in the 2023/2024 season and a thigh muscle injury that kept him out for two months between February and April 2026. The absence of the midfielder forces the coaching staff to restructure the midfield before the start of the championship.

Lamine Camara as a market alternative for AS Monaco

In this scenario, Hansi Flick believes that Lamine Camara fits into the system due to his physical profile and youth to complement the position of pivot alongside Marc Bernal and Gavi. The Senegalese international played in 31 matches, scored 3 goals, and provided 4 assists in the last season with AS Monaco, with his current contract expiring at the end of the season.

The deal for the player from AS Monaco aligns with the intention of the board to sell Marc Casadó to generate liquidity during this transfer period. The technical secretariat of FC Barcelona estimates that the transfer of the African midfielder could be finalized for a figure close to 40 million euros, taking advantage of the expiration of his contract in Ligue 1.

The FC Barcelona will accelerate negotiations with AS Monaco over the upcoming weeks of July 2026.

The final progress of the signing will depend on first finalizing the transfer of Marc Casadó in order to have the necessary salary space before formalizing the offer for the midfielder.
