Liverpool 'keeping tabs' on Barcelona defender as Mohamed Salah becomes 'key target' for Real Madrid

The Reds have been linked with a move for the 20-year-old in the past, with the likes of Juventus, AC Milan and Brentford also being credited with an interest.

Camara, who started his career with French club Lille and is a Guinea international team-mate of Naby Keita's, is thought to be valued at around £20million.
