Stoke City are working hard to sign Mamadou Lamine Camara

After many years spent with Renaissance Sportive de Berkane in Morocco and North Africa, the Icelandic defensive midfielder looks set for a new experience in England with one of the country's leading clubs, Stoke City, and press reports indicate that the player is currently in England to finalise his move and undergo the necessary medical examinations.

Significant interest from several top European clubs

Interest in the 22-year-old is not limited to Stoke City, with Crystal Palace, Fenerbahçe, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal in Spain also interested in the player.

However, recent press reports suggest that Stoke City are the club that ultimately prevailed in the race for the player's services, despite the many and varied financial offers that were made.

According to our sources, a preliminary agreement has been reached between Stoke City and RS Berkane, pending the completion of the deal after the player undergoes medical tests. The Moroccan club hopes to recover between €4 and €5 million for a player currently valued at €1.4 million on Transfermarkt.

The young Senegalese talent, who shone this season with Berkane and impressed with the U-23 national team of Les Lions de la Téranga, is on the verge of a major career milestone. A potential move to England could mark a significant step forward in his journey toward the pinnacle of European football.
