Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Lamine Camara from AS Monaco for £47 million.
The fee is the headline figure in the agreement between the two clubs. Camara is set to join Chelsea, though neither side has put out a formal announcement beyond the terms of the deal.
The fee at the center of the deal
The £47 million price tag makes the transfer one of the bigger moves of the window. Chelsea and Monaco have settled on that figure after negotiations, with the player's move to London now agreed in principle.
What hasn't been confirmed is the rest of the package. Contract length, the timing of the move, and whether a medical has been scheduled have not been disclosed by either club.
What's left to settle
An agreement on a fee is one step. The transfer still has to be completed — paperwork, registration, and the player's own terms all have to fall into place before the move is official.
Neither Chelsea nor Monaco has said when the deal will be finalized. For now, the clubs have a handshake on the number, and the rest is still to come.
