According to the English media "TeamTalk", Aston Villa is preparing a free transfer, and Gerald personally led the team to visit Marseille star Kamala.
Gerald personally inspected Kamala
In November 2021, Gerrard took over the coaching whip of Aston Villa, one of the most attractive clubs below big6 in the Premier League. Unfortunately, Aston Villa has suffered four consecutive defeats since 11 March, and although the opponents are all in the top 8 of the league, the scene is still a bit ugly.
The youngster Jay wants the club to buy a top defensive midfielder, and the club has begun to connect with Phillips, Bentancourt and Bisuma in the transfer market. Camara, who plays for Marseille, is also one of the targets of Premier League celebrities, with TeamTalk reporting that Gerrard appeared in the 33rd round of Ligue 1 at Marseille against Nantes.
The CEO was in attendance, and the deal was almost set in stone
There is no doubt that the villa manager's purpose is to visit Kamala for himself. The 22-year-old France U21 international's contract with Marseille is due to expire at the end of the season. In addition to Aston Villa, Kamala has some potential suitors, with many Premier League teams linked to him and Atletico Madrid also trying to seduce the Frenchman.
The 22-year-old defensive midfielder has made 163 appearances for Marseille to date and has averaged two steals, 1.3 interceptions and 1.1 clearances in 29 league games this season. With these figures, Camara is 8th at the back of Ligue 1. Although the data is not too good, it can't stand the Frenchman's youth, and there is still time and space to take his career to a new level.
The full season is just around the corner and it's time to test the Jay team
Kamala's physical qualities are also very good, missing only four league games this season. According to RMC Sport, Aston Villa are the most keen team to get Kamala, with players already secured a contract offered by premier league clubs. Gerrard's appearance is likely to be for further observation of the youngster in order to provide key advice for the club to buy Kamala.
Notably, Aston Villa didn't just deploy the manager, sporting director Ohan Lange and CEO Christian Purslow were also present at the Velodrome Stadium. The CEO's presence means that there is a high probability that there will be new developments in the transaction.
Overall, Aston Villa's interest in Kamala is unquestionable, and the time has come to look forward to the full season of Gerrard's lead, testing the true level, and the time has come for Liverpool fans to polish their eyes and examine the next Reds manager.
