Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Camara.

Judged on this season alone, Camara graded 49 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 14% of the 44 central midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 3 goals, 1 assist and 3.485 defensive actions per 90.

Clean sheets

3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 89.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 60.8, Camara carries the 23rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 44. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
