By Total Football News

One source with connections to both Chelsea and Monaco said the clubs had “played with fire and got burned”.

Indeed, the late-night transfer drama that involved Folarin Balogun, Everton, Monaco, Lamine Camara and Chelsea saw all parties lose out.

Camara – a 22-year-old Senegalese international midfielder – had been a target for Chelsea as they prepared for the £125m sale of Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City.

But Monaco

Lamine Camara will be staying at Monaco after the Senegal midfielder’s £47.1m move to Chelsea collapsed.

The 22-year-old had already completed a medical with Chelsea but his switch fell through shortly after the 23:00 BST deadline.

They had two bids rejected by the Ligue 1 side before Monaco eventually lowered their asking price when Folarin Balogun’s move to Everton came into renewed doubt.

Everton have made an offer for Monaco forward Folarin Balogun – who is valued at £40m by the French club.

Richarlison is believed to have reservations about returning to Everton, the club he left to join Spurs in 2022.

But Everton are pressing ahead with their interest in

Liverpool threw away another pre-season lead as Monaco came from behind to win 3-2 in Andoni Iraola’s first game in charge at Anfield.

Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz put the Reds on track, but just like against Leeds last week in Chicago – when they were also two goals up and lost 4-2 – they were unable to kick on.

Aleksandr Golovin’s penalty and Mika Biereth got Monaco back level,

On the deal, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said: “I’m really pleased to see

By Total Football News

This move for Bamba underlines a marked shift in transfer strategy for Newcastle.

It is certainly hard to imagine the club spending £55m on a 29-year-old again like they did when they signed forward Yoane Wissa from Brentford last summer.

Instead, Newcastle have targeted players aged 20 and under on the continent this time around.

Bamba, like Steur, Ewen Jaouen and Bazoumana Toure, will need time to adapt to
