Liverpool will not still sign a new midfielder this summer amid rumours of interest in Lamine Camara following the 2-2 draw with Newcastle United on the opening day of the Premier League season. James Pearce reports for the Athletic that the decision not to sign a new midfielder is set in stone and Liverpool will not bring a player in to bolster their ranks.

“Unless there’s a change of stance, it’s only the forward line which will be strengthened.” There have been widespread reports over the last 24 hours, linking Liverpool with AS Monaco’s Lamine Camara, who impressed last season and during a cameo at Anfield in pre-season. French journalist Abdel Hamed reports that Liverpool “are still on the hunt for a No.6” and have identified Camara as a player that could fill this need.

He claims that “offers are dragging on because the clubs are aware of Monaco’s situation and are waiting for the end of the transfer window.” ???? ???? – @Abdel_hamed6: Liverpool are still on the hunt for a No. Offers are dragging on because the clubs are aware of Monaco's situation and are waiting for the end of the transfer window. pic.twitter.com/Z9fnMhVYVN — LFC Transfer Room (@LFCTransferRoom) August 25, 2026 Liverpool cannot afford to ignore signing a new midfielder after Newcastle performance There was a lot that could be said about the state of Liverpool’s performance against Newcastle United, but the main issue was in the centre of the park, where the Reds simply lacked control, ball-winning capabilities and a player to control the game.
