Liverpool And Chelsea On Alert As Ligue One Star’s Asking Price Drops To 21M

Marseille midfielder Boubacar Kamara could be sold for between €25m (£21m) and €30m (£26m) this summer, according to Calciomercato.com.

Liverpool were linked with the Frenchman by the same website earlier this month while reports in France in recent weeks have claimed that Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is also a big fan of the player.

Originally, it was believed that Kamara would only be sold for a fee in the region of €60m (£51.3m) but the collapse of Ligue One’s TV deal may well have affected the player’s valuation.

Whether Calciomercato‘s report is accurate, we shall have to wait and see, but the 21-year-old would certainly be an attractive target if he was to become available for such a low price.

Kamara can play either as a holding midfielder or as a centre-back, and Reds boss Jurgen Klopp could be considering him as a potential replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum, with the Dutchman expected to leave Anfield in the summer.
