# Leeds: Ryan Taylor shares Mohamed Camara update

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) have been in ‘direct contact’ with Mohamed Camara’s representatives, according to [Ryan Taylor](https://twitter.com/RyanTaylorSport/status/1541889076734967812).**

### The Lowdown: Camara teasing Elland Road move

The Whites have been [linked](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10954527/Leeds-launch-talks-RB-Salzburgs-Tyler-Adams-Mohamed-Camara-Kalvin-Phillips-nears-exit.html) with a move for Camara as they look to replace Kalvin Phillips, who is set to sign for Manchester City in a deal worth an initial [£42m](https://theathletic.com/news/leeds-kalvin-phillips-man-city-transfer-news/zqE5mZ7zWwmz/).

Leeds have also held [talks](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10954527/Leeds-launch-talks-RB-Salzburgs-Tyler-Adams-Mohamed-Camara-Kalvin-Phillips-nears-exit.html) for RB Leipzig’s Tyler Adams and Manchester City’s Darko Gyabi, with a [£5m](https://theathletic.com/news/leeds-kalvin-phillips-man-city-transfer-news/zqE5mZ7zWwmz/) move for the latter in the pipeline, so it is clear a defensive-minded midfield player is on the agenda.

Camara himself has recently [teased](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-contact-made-mo-camara-transfer-news/) a move to Elland Road by replying to Leeds fans on social media, and it looks as if a move to Yorkshire could gather pace over the coming days.

### The Latest: Taylor’s update

[Taylor](https://twitter.com/RyanTaylorSport/status/1541889076734967812), took to Twitter late on Tuesday evening to provide an update on Camara. He shared news of Salzburg allowing the midfielder to take more time off from their pre-season camp in order to resolve his immediate future, with Leeds in ‘direct contact’ with his representatives.

The journalist also cited a fee in the region of £17m-£25m, claiming that Brighton are ‘also in the mix’.

### The Verdict: Get it done

Camara has gone from strength to strength at Salzburg which has seen his [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohamed-camara/marktwertverlauf/spieler/543382) valuation rocket from just £1.17m in April 2020 to a career-high £24.3m today.

He made [42](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohamed-camara/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/543382/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=17275) appearances under Jesse Marsch in Austria and is still just 22 years of age with plenty of experience already under his belt, even in the [Champions League](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohamed-camara/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/543382).

[Conor McGilligan](https://twitter.com/ConorMcGilligxn/status/1535665077096837121) believes Camara is already ‘on KP’s level’, so a move for anything under £25m could be a brilliant move by Leeds chiefs as they look to fill the big void set to be left by Phillips.
