Chelsea submitted an opening offer of 45 million euros for midfielder Lamine Camara on deadline day, but Monaco rejected the proposal. The bid is reportedly lower than offers made by Crystal Palace earlier this summer, leading to its immediate rejection. Chelsea are pursuing the former Metz midfielder as a potential replacement for Enzo Fernandez, who is linked with a move to Manchester City. Lamine Camara has reportedly expressed a desire to join the club and has been in contact with Xabi Alonso. Meanwhile, Chelsea confirmed the departure of Marc Guiu to RB Leipzig as part of their broader squad restructuring. Additional reports suggest multiple other departures from the club are expected before the window closes.
