Sunderland have identified Lamine Camara as a primary target, and their interest is described as a sign of their ambition. The club is using its reputation as a destination for young talent to persuade players such as Camara to join. It is reported that Monaco are open to a sale if their valuation is met, and multiple clubs could begin competing with offers for the player as early as January.

Transfer News Live has reported that Sunderland have asked about potential deals to sign Lamine Camara, who is one of the top midfield prospects in France.

Sunderland are very interested in Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara. The Premier League club is managed by Régis Le Bris, is currently 7th in the table, and is looking to strengthen its squad this winter. Monaco purchased the 21-year-old Senegalese international for 15 million euros in the summer of 2024, and it is thought that the club would probably not let him leave for less than double that amount. His contract with the French club runs until June 2029. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €30 million. In Ligue 1 this season, Camara has made 9 appearances and provided 3 assists. For Senegal, he has earned 23 caps and scored 6 goals. Newcastle United have also been linked with the player.
