# Leeds: Whites reportedly nearing Mohamed Camara deal

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) will pip Brighton to a deal for midfielder Mohamed Camara, according to Red Bull Salzburg insider [Don Mitchell](https://twitter.com/Don7Mitchell/status/1542916027750686720).**

### The Lowdown: Camara teasing Leeds move

Camara has been on the radar at Leeds following the news that Kalvin Phillips will make the move to Manchester City.

The 22-year-old, who journalist [James Marshment](https://twitter.com/marshyleeds/status/1542858529178062850) has heard being billed ‘the next Kante’, has even been [teasing](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-contact-made-mo-camara-transfer-news/) Whites supporters over a potential move on social media.

Leeds [reportedly](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-mohamed-camara-agrees-transfer-move/) agreed personal terms with Camara in recent days, and it looks as if they have shaken hands with Salzburg on a deal for the midfielder after already signing Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen from the Austrian giants this summer.

### The Latest: Insider shares update

Salzburg insider [Mitchell](https://twitter.com/Don7Mitchell/status/1542916027750686720) took to Twitter on Friday evening to share an update on Camara.

He stated that ‘Camara is going to be a Leeds player’, with both clubs reaching ‘full agreement’ on a deal which could be worth £30m with add-ons. Mitchell added that a medical at Thorp Arch is ‘supposedly’ set for Monday or Tuesday.

### The Verdict: Big news for Leeds

It looks as if Victor Orta may have got his Phillips replacement in Camara in another big-money move, and who knows, a transfer could even be finalised in time for the player to head to Australia with Jesse Marsch’s squad next week.

The Mali international has [previous experience](https://www.transfermarkt.com/mohamed-camara/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/543382/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=17275) of playing under Marsch, with the Leeds manager mainly using Camara as a central midfielder instead of a holding midfielder at Salzburg.

You’d expect that he’ll need to be more defensive-minded at Elland Road with Phillips leaving, though, and he could potentially strike up a partnership with summer signing Marc Roca in a 4-2-2-2 system.
