# Leeds: Mohamed Camara agrees to Elland Road move

**RB Salzburg midfielder Mohamed Camara has reportedly ‘given his agreement’ to join [Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/).**

### The Lowdown: Camara interest

The Whites are on the hunt for a new marquee defensive midfielder to replace Kalvin Phillips. Manchester City will pay Leeds an initial [£42m](https://theathletic.com/news/leeds-kalvin-phillips-man-city-transfer-news/zqE5mZ7zWwmz/) for Phillips, who looks set to undergo a medical with the Premier League champions [today](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-kalvin-phillips-medical-24364440).

Leeds have been name-checked with an interest in Camara, [reportedly](https://twitter.com/RyanTaylorSport/status/1541889076734967812) making ‘direct contact’ with his representatives, and it looks as if there is now an agreement in place between the player and the Whites.

### The Latest: Source shares update

They said that ‘Mo wants to join Leeds, however at this moment Leeds can’t pay the transfer money and haven’t reached an agreement with Salzburg.’

The source added: ‘Camara has given his agreement that he will join Leeds, however it’s now down to the clubs.’

### The Verdict: Time to act Orta

It looks as if Camara is extremely keen to move to Yorkshire and has even been replying to [Leeds fans](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-contact-made-mo-camara-transfer-news/) on social media regarding a potential move.

There now appears to be an ‘agreement’ between Camara and Leeds, so Victor Orta should be hard at work looking to strike a deal with Salzburg.

He has already done that twice with the Austrian side with moves for Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen, and it seems as if Leeds will need to write a cheque in the region of [£17m-£25m](https://twitter.com/RyanTaylorSport/status/1541889076734967812) for Camara, who [Conor McGilligan](https://twitter.com/ConorMcGilligxn/status/1535665077096837121) believes is already ‘KP level’.

The Elland Road transfer guru needs to act fast however, with [Brighton](https://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/20243675.brighton-aware-mohamed-camara-leeds-united-linked/) also on the trail…
