Lewis Steele rates Liverpool’s chances of signing Ligue 1 midfielder

Liverpool Tracking Mamadou Sangare and Lamine Camara Ahead of Key Summer

On Media Matters for Anfield Index, Dave Davis and Lewis Steele discussed Liverpool’s ongoing midfield plans, with reported interest in Lens midfielder Mamadou Sangare and AS Monaco’s Lamine Camara becoming part of the conversation.

Steele explained that Liverpool are “scouring the market for a midfielder” as Arne Slot prepares for another major rebuild at Anfield.

The discussion came amid growing uncertainty around Liverpool’s midfield depth and possible departures this summer, particularly with Curtis Jones heavily linked with an exit.

Sangare and Camara feature on Liverpool shortlist

Davis referenced reports linking Liverpool with Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara alongside Mamadou Sangare and other emerging targets.

When asked how likely Liverpool are to sign a midfielder of that profile, Steele replied: “For the Ligue 1 midfielders, I would say maybe a 6.5.”

He added: “They’re definitely going to sign a midfielder.”

That certainty reflects Liverpool’s wider squad concerns after a difficult season under Slot, where Steele repeatedly questioned the team’s intensity, control and physical level compared to previous years at Anfield.

Liverpool weighing experience against potential

One of the more revealing parts of the discussion centred on whether Liverpool will pursue younger developmental players like Sangare and Camara or move for more proven Premier League options.
